The following are awards for gay pornography that are no longer given. The list is organized by award and by year for each award.

The "Dave" Awards

Originated by Adam Gay Video Directory editor Dave Kinnick and backed by the in-house review staff, these awards were announced for the years 1989 to 1994. Kinnick had a monthly "Video Review" column in Advocate Men Magazine; the results were posted in his colum each May from 1989 through 1993. The last awards were published for the first time in the Adam Gay Video 1996 Directory since the column ceased in December 1994.<ref name="Adam 1996">

Gay Erotic Video Awards

The Gay Erotic Video Awards were awarded annually for gay and bisexual pornography by the Gay Video Guide (GVG), a pocket-sized newsstand magazine that catered primarily to fans. The Gay Video Guide (GVG) Awards, as they were originally known, were first given in the fall of 1992. Eligibility for the 24 awards that were presented in the inaugural year was determined by release date during a period ending in early October of a given year. Magazine staffers made the nominations and the voting was opened up to "special well-known celebrity judges". The award show was mounted as a charity event for the Aid for AIDS Organization.

The awards continued after the Guide itself ceased publication, and were renamed the Gay Erotic Video Awards in 1998. Ironically, 1998 was the last year for which awards were given, at ceremonies held in 1999.

For the list of recipients, please see Gay Erotic Video Awards.

Gay Producers Association

The Gay Producers Association (GPA) was a short-lived but significant group of gay video insiders that was formed during the "heyday of gay video". Their awards show, presented in Los Angeles in June, was considered to be an "E ticket" ride for the industry.

Probe / Men in Video Awards
