Dr. Elena Janssen · 2026-04-20

Tad Pole is back in the spotlight, and this time he's hoping it's his year. The affable everyman of porn has been nominated for the 2026 XMA Creator Awards in the Male Clip Creator of Year category for the third straight year. Nominees were picked from pre-nomination entries submitted by the global adult entertainment community, and Tad's got his fingers crossed that the third time's the charm. "It's a real honor to be nominated for the third year in a row for the coveted Male Clip Creator of Year nomination," Tad shared. "There are thousands of male creators out there and to be one of the few selected is no easy feat! I will never take these nominations for granted." ### What Winning Would Mean Tad explained how much it would mean to him to finally take home the award. "The prior years I was happy to be nominated but this time I would love to leave XBIZ Miami with some hardware. This past year I've created some incredible content in both 2D and Virtual Reality 3D which even involved fans." Ever humble, the affable everyman of porn wrapped up by thanking everyone involved, from XBIZ to the performers he worked with and the fans themselves. "Thank you to all the amazing female stars that worked with me. Thank you to XMA/XBIZ for having the awards where creators can be recognized. Also, thank you to Wolf Dom, Sal Shooter, Madison Wilde, Rex Radiation, Tiny Khloe, and Rebel Rhyder for their work behind the camera this past year. Last but certainly not least, thank you to the fans that pre-nominated me!" ### About the XMA Creator Awards Honoring the most captivating personalities and creative artists in adult entertainment, the XMA Creator Awards will serve as the glamorous capstone to XBIZ Miami, North America's largest summer conference for creators and digital media players.
