# Urban X Award

The Urban X Awards is an annual award ceremony held in the United States to honor achievement in ethnic pornography.
Originally known as the Urban Spice Awards, it was established in 2008 by black adult film director Giana Taylor and last awarded in 2012. The Urban X awards returned after a 5-year hiatus in 2017 and subsequently thereafter. The awards recognize achievement by the adult film stars, producers, directors, agencies, and companies who produce Black, Latin, Asian, and interracial adult content. The winners are voted for by fans on the award's website.

## Inaugural event
