The AVN "Female Perfomer of the Year" award is the most prestigious award a pornstar can receive, the one any pornstar dreams of winning.
In January 2023 it will be the 30th time a pornstar will receive this award (The AVN Awards were created in 1984 but this particular award wasn't created before 1993. Before 1993 the most prestigious was Best Actress but since it's creation in 1993 the Female Performer of the Year award slowly became more prestigious, especially with the rise of gonzo 'cause a gonzo performance, as good as it could be, weren't eligible for Best Actress since it does not involve any acting.
Also the Female Performer of the Year award rewards an entire year of work by an actress, while the Best Actress Award rewards her work on a particular production.
To commemorate these 30 years, I wanted to crown the "Female Performer of the last 30 Years". Unfortunately I can't put all the girls in one single poll so I decided to go with 3 polls, 1 for each decade (1993 - 2002, 2003 - 2012 and 2013 - 2022) and one last poll with the winners of each decade.
Because it can be tough picking only 1 girl among 10 of the greatest pornstar ever, one can pick up to 3 girls. Also, I decided that the last poll will not include the 3 winners but also the girls who came in 2nd (that's 6 girls, leaving 4 sports empty for possible ties)
These are the 10 girls who won Female Performer of the Year from 1993 to 2002
Ashlyn Gere (1993)
Debi Diamond (1994)
Asia Carrera (1995)
Kaithlyn Ashley (1996)
Missy (1997)
Stephanie Swift (1998)
Chloe Nicolle (1999)
Inari Vachs (2000)
Jewel De Nyle (2001)
Nikita Denise (2002)
