Wasteland.com has picked up three nominations for the 2017 XBIZ Awards, including BDSM Release of the Year for “Punishments Incorporated, (under the Severe Sex DVD imprint)” Adult Site of the Year: BDSM and Specialty Affiliate Program of the Year for Wasteland’s advertising affiliate program, SpiceCash.
On the cusp of wrapping up its 23rd year of operation, Wasteland/Spicecash CEO Colin Rowntree states that he is “delighted that we’ve been recognized with three XBiz Award nominations this year. We have continued to work hard to innovate, and to use Wasteland’s experience in creating evocative content, cutting-edge marketing and technology, and our many years of success to continue to be a cornerstone in this ever-changing industry as well as an ongoing standard of excellence.”
“I am very happy that Wasteland has ‘stayed the course’ over the years and that our work has garnered the respect of our peers with these nominations.” Rowntree says.
While Wasteland.com is certainly the flagship site for the Spicecash program, Rowntree said he hopes those who check out Spicecash due its recognition by the XBIZ Awards will take note of the program’s other offerings, as well.
“Sites like SciFiDreamGirls, ForbiddenEast, TribalMale and FemDomBride provide webmasters the opportunity to promote something truly different thematically, including a lot of content which hasn’t been plastered all over every free tube site in existence,” Rowntree said. “And it’s all backed by the Wasteland brand and over two decades’ history of fair, honest and ethical dealings with all our webmasters, advertisers and marketing partners.”
The XBIZ Awards will be presented on Thursday, January 12, 2017 at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel, 404 S. Figueroa St., Los Angeles CA 90071. To see all nominations, click here.
