More artists, bigger prizes

The Artist of the Year prizes grow with the number of artists in the race when sign-ups close on November 30:

Artists in the race1st2nd3rd
3 or 4$250$100$50
5 to 7$500$150$75
8 or 9$750$200$100
10 or more$1000$250$100

And it can double: if the artists in the race get 5,000 votes between them by the close, every prize doubles. With 10 or more artists, that's $2000, $500 and $200.

The race needs at least 3 artists when sign-ups close. Vote tips are capped at $50 a week shared between all artists. Full details in the contest rules.

Why artists join

  • It costs nothing. No fee, no subscription, nothing to buy.
  • Your clips stay where they are. We show the clips you already post on sites like Pornhub and RedGifs on your own artist page here. Nothing new to film or upload.
  • Your fans finally have something to do. Voting is free, they get a vote every day, and every vote helps you win. Share your page and let them push you up the board.
  • Real amateurs, not a studio. You're up against other independent artists, not big production companies.
  • Paid in Bitcoin Cash. It goes straight from our wallet to yours, with no bank or payment company in the middle to block it, freeze it or take a cut. Adult artists are usually the first ones they cut off.
  • You can check we pay. Every payment is on the public blockchain, like AlleyBite's above.

Questions

Does it cost anything?

No. There's no fee to join and nothing to buy. The prizes and tips come from us.

Do I have to upload anything?

No. We show clips you've already posted elsewhere, like Pornhub or RedGifs. You don't upload anything to us.

How do I get paid?

In Bitcoin Cash, to the address you give us, at CoinGecko's BCH/USD price at the time we send it. Prizes are paid within 14 days of the winner confirming, and vote tips within 7 days of each week ending.

What if fewer than 3 artists join?

Then there's no Artist of the Year 2026, but Clip of the Week, Clip of the Year and vote tips carry on. That's why we want you in.

Can I leave?

Yes, any time. Just tell us.

What about fake votes?

Votes from VPNs, proxies and data centres don't count, and we remove votes we believe are fake before any winner is decided. Ask your real fans to vote, not bots.
