History of the LPIN Awards
In 2017, the Awards Committee conducted nominations in February, voting in March through April and selected awards for 2016 Courtesan of the Year, Brothel of the Year, and Rural brothel of the Year. The committee consisted of firefighter, highdrive, Lecher, Little Richard, Mikey, and MrTShirt. Mikey hosted his second Annual Awards Banquet. All fifteen finalists, Alice Little, Coco, Kitti Minx, Rachel Varga, Victoria, Chicken Ranch, Love Ranch, Mustang Ranch, Sagebrush Ranch, Sheri's Ranch, Alien Cathouse, Desert Club, Dovetail Ranch, Inez's D&D and Mona's Ranch, were presented framed certificates, and the three winners, Rachel Varga, Mustang Ranch and Dovetail Ranch, were presented framed certificates plus Crystal Art Duet Flame Awards. Rachel Varga of Mustang Ranch won Courtesan of the Year on her first nomination and first year in LPIN, Mustang Ranch won their fourth consecutive Brothel of the Year, and the Dovetail Ranch won their fifth Rural Brothel of the Year. Rachel Varga and Madam Tara attended and accepted the COY and BOY awards respectively. Lee delivered and presented the RBOY Award to Madam Monica at the Dovetail Ranch on Saturday following the Awards Banquet. Mikey held a Hawaiian shirt contest and Dtech was the winner; Jade Capri donated the $50 prize and Dtech very generously donated it back to the awards committee fund.
The
cwmcawards.com website was permanently shutdown on August 15, 2017 in preparation for termination. Subsequently, the Awards Committee registered two domains and constructed two websites. CWMC Awards,
cwmcawards.net, was established to preserve the history of the awards. LPIN Awards,
lpinawards.com, was established to continue the awards contests. The Awards Committee had permanently separated from SIN, so the decision was made to coordinate the awards contests under LPIN Awards. There were multiple legitimate reasons for this decision. LPIN Awards does not have an affiliation or relationship with any other organization, but CWMC Awards had a historic connection to SIN which the awards committee felt must be severed. Also, the CWMC acronym carried an unsavory connotation that LPIN Awards does not possess. LPIN Awards better defines the awards, and may be more socially acceptable while not being offensive to Courtesans. LPIN Awards is totally separate and independent; therefore, registered voters are not required to be members of any other message board. All LPIN Courtesans who worked during the award year (except previous winners) or Brothels that operated during the period would be eligible candidates.
The LPIN Awards Committee would like to acknowledge and thank Courtesan of the Year Rachel Varga for donating an exceptionally generous gift of professional web developer custom services to configure the LPIN Awards websites to awards committee specifications. The Awards Committee would not have been able to administer a first-rate contest without Rachel Varga's contribution, and may not have been able to coordinate a 2017 contest period. The LPIN Community owes Rachel a great debt of gratitude for her benevolence and generosity.
In 2018, the LPIN 2017 Awards contest was coordinated with the Nomination Round in February 2018, the Preliminary Voting Round in March 2018, the Final Voting Round in April 2018, and the awards were presented at the LPIN Awards Banquet on July 20, 2018. The LPIN Awards Committee conducted voting and selected awards for Courtesan of the Year, Brothel of the Year, and Rural Brothel of the Year. The Official LPIN 2017 Awards Registered Voters List increased by 29 voters due largely to the fact that LPIN Awards is totally independent and not affiliated with any message board. The committee consisted of firefighter, FumbleNutts, highdrive, Little Richard, Mikey and MrTShirt. Mikey hosted the Annual Banquet for the third straight year, and it was promoted as the LPIN Awards Banquet to avoid confusion due to the proposed organization of a competitive awards contest. All fifteen finalists, Lexie James, Roxy, Roxy Gold, Vanity Affair, Victoria, Chicken Ranch, Love Ranch, Mustang Ranch, Sagebrush Ranch, Sheri's Ranch, Desert Club, Dovetail Ranch, Inez's D&D, Love Ranch South and Mona's Ranch, were presented framed finalist certificates, and the three winners, Roxy, Mustang Ranch and Dovetail Ranch, were presented framed winner certificates plus Crystal Art Triad Flame Awards.
