Urban X Awards was founded in 2008 by Giana Taylor. Her vision was to bring to to the adult industry's attention that interracial and ethnic adult film was not a niche to set to the side, but a market that widely contributed to the lure of adult entertainment; therefore, it should be celebrated and awarded as such. After the success of the 1st Urban X Awards Show (then known as the Urban Spice Awards), every awards show since has made critic acclaim and deemed yearly one of the most anticipated awards shows to hit the adult entertainment world. And this years upscale Awards Show and Gala shall be no exception.
