2024 Winners

The Silver Tusk Awards 2024: World Domination, held on January 24, 2024

The Silver Tusk Awards continued to open the ballot to all entertainers across the world, regardless of location, longevity of career, or connection White Elephant Burlesque (the production company of the Silver Tusk Awards). The award show broadcast on Zoom.

An additional segment of awards, known as the Exceptional categories were announced a month before the award show, upon instant-win ballot count from the first session of voting. All winners were immediately announced rather than amongst other nominees.

All performances aired during the award show were recorded burlesque acts by performers up for the new category "Favorite Video Performance," Maya Precious (Philadelphia), Renaissance Noir (Philadelphia), Fannie Sinclair (L.A.), Bettie Beelzebub (OIympia), Luna DeLyte (Olympia), and Noctua (NYC).

Entertainer of the Year: Tito Bonito, the first to win from Los Angeles. Culminative submissions from both rounds of voting provided the clear of the year, receiving the most votes for any and all categories. Tito was the first person to win every category they were nominated for.

Non-competitive awards given: The Mentor Award was given to Fem Appeal, hereafter known as The Fem Appeal Mentor & Lifetime Achievement Award. Visionary awards were bestowed to Margo Mayhem, Boombox Burlesque, Assorted Chocolates, Hank E. Panky, Lottie Ellington, David Byrd, and The Amazing Brettzo.
