Get ready to cheer, because Zariah Aura is officially having one heck of a year! The electrifying performer has just landed her very first nominations at the 2025 Urban X Awards, and she’s up for not one, but two of the night’s biggest honors: Sexiest Trans Star and Transgender Star of the Year.
For any performer, an award nomination is a huge milestone, but for Aura, this recognition from the Urban X Awards feels like the perfect cap on a whirlwind year of incredible momentum and creativity.
“This year has been an incredible year with the scenes and acting roles being offered to me, and the nominations just keep coming,” Aura shared, her excitement palpable. “I feel fortunate to have a career that I love, but I’m even more appreciative of having such amazing fans and industry friends who cheer me on and nominate me for awards.”
A Breakout Star on the Rise
When Aura says “the nominations just keep coming,” she isn’t exaggerating. This double Urban X nod comes on the heels of her recognition at the 2024 Trans Erotica Awards (TEAs), where she was a contender for Best New Face and Best Hardcore Performer. It’s clear that from the moment she stepped onto the scene, her talent and magnetic presence have made a serious impact on both fans and industry peers.
Her journey this year has been defined by powerful roles and a growing platform, making these nominations a validation of her hard work and rising influence.
Why the Urban X Awards Matter
The Urban X Awards hold a special place in the industry, specifically created to honor and celebrate diversity and excellence among performers of color. A nomination here isn’t just a nod for a great scene; it’s a significant recognition of an artist’s contribution to a more inclusive and representative industry. Landing on this prestigious list for the first time marks a major career achievement for Aura.
Fans and colleagues have been flooding social media with support, echoing the sentiment that her unique energy and dedication deserve to be celebrated on such a prominent stage.
Eyes on the Prize
Now, all eyes are on the main event. The Urban X Awards are set to light up the Regent Theater in Downtown Los Angeles on August 17th, and Aura is hoping to turn these nominations into wins with a little help from her supporters.
Leaving fans with a heartfelt call to action, she looked toward the big night with hopeful optimism.
“I’d love to win one or both of these awards, so please vote for me.”
