LOS ANGELES—AVN Media Network is pleased to announce that rising stars Ava Amira and Meagan Moore will be the official Trophy Girls for the 2026 AVN Awards Show presented by MyFreeCams.
Both girls will be attending the AVNs for the first time at the 43rd annual ceremony on Jan. 24 at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
“My gosh, I feel so honored, it’s almost surreal to see where my life was a year ago and where I am now,” Amira says. “I’m so excited. I know it’s like the Oscars of the adult industry, so it’s such an honor to be on stage for the show in my first year.”
“I’m super excited that I got this opportunity,” Moore says. “I’ve never really done anything quite like it before.
“I’m pretty new to the industry but I’ve heard about the AVN Awards Show and I honestly never thought that I’d be a part of it.”
Amira, who is from Toronto, worked in the creator management space before entering mainstream adult earlier this year and signing with Spiegler Girls. Moore, who is from Charlotte, N.C., did sales and promotional modeling prior to starting her adult entertainment career in the spring when she signed with Hussie Models.
They’ll join co-hosts Abigaiil Morris and ItsLo on the industry’s biggest stage, where more than 100 award winners will be revealed across every sector of adult entertainment.
“Ava and Meagan are two of the most promising young stars in our business and we can’t wait to see them shining bright on January 24th,” says AVN Media Network CEO Tony Rios.
Ava recalls how in October 2024 she had just left Costa Rica, where she had been living for two years, and flew to New York. While in the Big Apple, she continued managing creators at an agency—a space that she had been excelling in since January 2023.
“I used to think why am I managing these girls when I could do it myself?” Amira recalls. “So I’ve been here doing what I had envisioned.”
Ava decided to leave her post at the agency this past February and made the leap.
“I thought if I’m going to do this, I’m going to have to do it for me and put myself first,” Ava says. “I knew it was not going to be easy at first, but I had the advantage of working behind the scenes before I jumped to front facing. So I took all the knowledge that I have from working in that space.”
During her time in creator management, Amira also maintained her own OnlyFans page, creating custom content and going live with some of her clients.
“I was a bit of an online exhibitionist for a while,” Ava admits. “I was doing no-face content on Reddit. You get a little bit of adrenaline from it, so I was doing no face and I really liked the attention I was getting. I started to think that maybe it was meant to be for me and I’m just going to do it.”
Meagan Moore tells AVN she started posting content on OnlyFans about a year-and-a-half ago and was ready to take the next step in her adult entertainment journey.
“I wanted to do something bigger than just being an OnlyFans girl,” Moore says. “I still haven’t done that many professional scenes. So I’m looking forward to this opportunity to be able to be on stage and meet everyone and building new relationships. This is what I wanted to do. I feel like I got lucky. This is a very exciting and new thing for me and I know that it’s going to help me out a lot. It’s going to be very good promotion for me.”
In addition to modeling, Moore did insurance sales in N.C. and then in Miami, where she lived for two years before coming to L.A.
Meagan took part in Miami Swim Week, did promo work on yacht charters on the weekends and became immersed in the influencer community in South Beach.
“I met a lot of really successful OnlyFans girls and one of them particularly had her own agency and she started me on there and helped show me what I needed to do with doing live shows and streaming,” Moore says.
“OnlyFans got very saturated in the last couple years. I started late. A lot of the big creators started in 2020 during COVID and have already been doing it for five or six years. So it’s definitely harder to be super successful. There are so many girls on there now and everyone’s competing with their pricing. So I didn’t want to just do OnlyFans. I was doing influencer stuff on the side and working with some brands and I still do that here and there. But now since moving to LA there are a lot more opportunities for that.”
Meagan adds, “I’ve been looking for ways to get noticed so more people can find me and know who I am. It’s much easier to start a business when you have a following of people who know you are.”
Without question, Moore already is well on her way to a higher profile in industry circles.
Meagan, who has a bachelor’s degree in science, explains she was doing home, auto, health and life insurance sales in N.C.
“I was doing remote sales, essential doing calls all day, every day and then I went to part time. It’s very hard to have a somewhat normal job that you can be really successful at. So I was doing multiple jobs,” she continues. “I would rather do what I’m doing now than be working multiple jobs.”
Moore also used to work as a nurse’s assistant at a hospital. At press time she had performed scenes for Reality Kings, SexLikeReal and most recently, Vixen.
“They were a lot of fun actually,” Moore says. “When I was shooting stuff on OnlyFans they were more like home films—just setting up a tripod. These felt more real. I liked having other people help me and do my hair and makeup and making sure everything looks great.”
She met Amira for the first time in person at the Digital Playground launch party for Deadly Vows last month at the Formosa Cafe in Hollywood.
“Me and her got along great, she’s going to be fun to work with,” Moore says.
Amira reveals she consulted with AVN Hall of Famer and Brazzers perennial contract stud, Keiran Lee, as she considered the move into porn. She credits him with discovering her.
“He told me I can’t go back. It’s a big decision, but I knew in my heart of hearts it was meant to be, so I decided to follow my heart,” says Amira, who shot her first scene for Brazzers and had done about 15 at press time—most of which have yet to be released.
She knew of Mark Spiegler’s reputation as an elite agent long before signing with him because of her familiarity with Asa Akira’s work.
“I was a huge Asa Akira fan, so I knew who Mark was. I read her books, and I listened to her Pornhub podcasts, so I knew who he was,” Amira says.
She met him for the first time at the Pornhub Awards in early May but it wasn’t until after shooting for Bellesa several weeks later that director Jacky St. James helped connect her to Spiegler in a more formal way.
“Jacky asked me if I was with an agency and I told her that I’m not signing with anybody unless it’s with Mark Spiegler,” Amira says.
So St. James put her in touch with Spiegler on the following day. About a week later, Amira was sitting on his couch having a meeting about her future.
“I went to his house on June 24 and he started booking me on June 25,” she says. “Before Spiegler, I had done three scenes.”
Amira says at first she only was supposed to be in LA for three months, so she banked as much content as she could, but then things started happening.
“It feels surreal,” Ava admits. “I’m excited and lucky and I don’t take it for granted. For that I have Keiran Lee to thank, he’s the best.”
Born in Baghdad, Iraq, and raised mostly in Canada, Amira also lived for a year in Yemen and about two years in London, England. Then she moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia for two years before settling in Toronto—where she stayed the longest. While in college in Toronto, Ava studied sociology and thrived in the restaurant business.
“Once I graduated I kept working. I opened the first STK in Canada in 2016; I was one of the original staff members. I learned fine dining and worked my way up in that industry,” says Ava, who would eventually do bottle service for a span.
“It made me more social. I was super shy. It’s ironic that I’m naked on the internet now.”
