(HOLLYWOOD, CA) — This December a brand-new awards extravaganza, the first annual Gay Entertainment Awards (GEA’s), will honor the best and brightest among gay erotic videos, erotic artists and magazines, gay strip clubs and the hottest gay adult Web sites. Joey Di Bartolo and Carlo Ricci of Joey and Carlo Productions are producing the show.
"We want to bring more focus to individuals in the entire business of gay erotica," says Di Bartolo. "The GEA’s will not only honor the adult video industry but will also include categories for strip clubs, Web sites, gay resorts, erotic artists, go-go boys and much more." Di Bartolo and Ricci’s JoeyandCarlo.com have hosted the MaleEscortAwards.com site for two years and felt the time was right to expand the awards to include a show and additional categories.

During the show, a special Industry Achievement Award will be presented to photographer Greg Lenzman (a.k.a. "Mocha") in recognition of his 25-plus years of dedication to the gay adult industry.
