The Good for Her Feminist Porn Awards, widely known as the Feminist Porn Awards (or simply FPAs),[1] is an annual adult film awards ceremony that began in 2006 by adult store Good for Her.[2]
History
The ceremony was originally conceived of and coordinated by former store manager Chanelle Gallant and has been organized by current store manager Alison Lee since 2008.[3][4][5] Both the store and the ceremony are based in Toronto, Ontario, and the ceremony commonly takes place at Berkeley Church.[6][5] Despite the name of the ceremony, Lee states that the films featured at the awards (as well as the ceremony itself) are meant to appeal to men as well as to women.[4]
Criteria
According to the official website,[1]nominations for an FPA award are dependent upon three criteria:
- A woman had a hand in the production, writing, direction, etc. of the work.
- It depicts genuine female pleasure.
- It expands the boundaries of sexual representation on film and challenges stereotypes that are often found in mainstream porn.
