SIGNY award

The SIGNY awards were an annual series of awards that recognized the best performers, artists, photographers and riggers, writers and models in the field of bondage erotica.

The contest was annually held from 2000 to 2005, except in 2002, when the award was canceled halfway through the voting process. The 2001 awards were the result of more than 30,000 votes in each category.

The website that hosted the SIGNY Awards has been removed from services since August 2006. Thus, there was no voting session nor awarding for 2006, nor for 2007.

There has been no listing for any definite replacement for this website or substitute service in several years, for a while indicating that this particular award series is no longer active. There has been discussion among several prominent bondage film producers who may engage another similar award service or a direct restart of this particular series.
