Am Abend des 17.10.2008 war es mal wieder und zum vierten Mal in Folge soweit: Das Branchenfachblatt Medien eLine verlieh im Rahmen einer Gala die eLine Awards 2008.
Die eLINE-Awards werden jedes Jahr während der weltgrößten Erotikfachmesse, der Venus in Berlin vergeben. Der eLINE-Award ist, nach Auskunft der Veranstalter, der wichtigste Preis der Erotikbranche und lockt Jahr für Jahr die großen nationalen und internationalen Stars in die deutsche Hauptstadt.
Wie in den Jahren zuvor wurden die Awards zum Teil vom Handel und zum Teil durch User-Votings auf der Seite www.pornaward.de ermittelt, wo sich auch noch weitere Bilder von der Gala und den Gewinnern finden.
