DIGITAL PLAYGROUND WINS
“BEST VIDEO PRODUCTION STUDIO” AT XBIZ AWARDS

Digital Playground was honored with XBiz’s ‘2005 Best Video Production Studio’ award last night at the 4th annual XBiz Awards, held at the Key Club in West Hollywood. Digital Playground is the only production company to receive kudos from XBiz; 17 other awards presented were primarily web related, ranging from ‘Best Affiliate Program’ to ‘Best Solution Provider’. Company founder, Joone is very pleased with the win. “We’ve worked extra hard this year to take our business to the next level and I’d like to thank XBiz and the adult community for their acknowledgement. It’s an honor to accept the first and only award of its kind.”

XBiz takes a unique approach to recognizing and awarding companies. Don Parret, XBiz Editor and Art Director explains the five stages of the process: (1) Selection of Judges – XBiz invites judges, from seasoned representatives of major adult industry companies to individual webmasters, who have demonstrated exceptional talent in their field. Judges are grouped (maximum of 7 judges per group) and assigned to an award category not matching their primary business field. (2) Nomination Submissions – XBiz accepts nomination submissions from the adult industry community. Company professionals and webmasters may submit companies offering business products and services of excellence. (3) Nominee Announcements – Once the nomination submission period closes, final nominees are announced. (4) Judging Process – Judges rate each of the assigned final nominees based on a number of different qualities/criteria. (5) Announcement of Winners – Winners were announced and presented with the coveted Crystal XBiz award.

XBiz’s award is the second one Digital Playground has received this year for ‘Best Studio.’ Nightmoves presented DP’s contract super star, Jesse Jane™ with their trophy for “Best Production Company” in October 2005. Digital Playground President, Samantha Lewis beams. “I’d like to thank my partner Joone for his technological insights that keep our company ahead of the game. I’m honored to have the best, hottest, sexiest girls in the world, Jesse Jane™, Janine, Teagan Presley, Jana Cova and Sophia Santi™ who are exclusive with Digital Playground. I’d like to thank my entire staff for their hard work and dedication in addition to XBiz and everyone who participated in the very qualified and impressive voting process. Thank you.”
