The Adult Nightclub & Exotic Dancer Awards Show — the ED’s Awards Show — is still the ONLY awards show in the world honoring the top adult nightclubs, club staff and feature entertainers. This year, however, a brand new twist is being introduced: The ED “Honors” Awards.

The Don Waitt Industry Ambassador Award and the Exotic Dancer Hall of Fame Award will also be presented at the 2025 ED Awards Show. Winners will be selected by ED Publications staff in conjunction with input provided by the ED Honors Board.
