Determining the shorts awards, CineKink jurors this year included Viviane Tang, ring-leader of the sex blog Viviane's Sex Carnival, Bill Woods, a film festival programmer and curator of the New Filmmakers series at Anthology Film Archives, and Miss Alyx, an alumnni CineKink filmmaker.

The Fifth Annual CineKink Bring It! award, determined by audience ballot during a presentation of excerpts showcasing current adult cinema, went to de-railed (Quinn Cassidy and Creamy Coconut), with a first-runner up slot going to The Submission of Emma Marx (Eddie Powell and Jacky St. James).

The CineKink Tribute, recognizing extraordinary depictions of kink and sex-positivity in mainstream film and television, was presented to the film Don Jon (Joseph Gordon-Levitt/Relativity Media), for its "sly look at the myth-building realms of both porn and romance." Honorable mentions for the CineKink Tribute went to the series Masters of Sex (Showtime), the television program The Real 50 Shades of Grey (E!), and to the film Afternoon Delight (Jill Soloway/Film Arcade). Works eligible for consideration this year were those released or aired in the United States from January 1 until December 31.

Making its 11th annual run February 25 - March 1, CineKink NYC featured a specially selected program of films and videos that celebrate and explore a wide diversity of sexuality. Billing itself as "the kinky film festival," the event is dedicated to the recognition and encouragement of sex-positive and kink-friendly depictions in film and television. With offerings drawn from both Hollywood and beyond, works presented at CineKink NYC ranged from documentary to drama, comedy to experimental, mildly spicy to quite explicit - and everything in between.

Selections from CineKink NYC will be featured in a traveling version of the festival, slated to appear in various cities throughout the coming year.
