The first edition of the Bloxy Awards were held during the 2013 BLOXCon event. This Hall of Fame spanned four BLOXCons (London, New York City, Chicago, and a virtual BLOXCon) and had over 20 awards.[1]
The first part was a part of the Roblox Film Festival, where players submitted videos that fell into one of five categories:
- Chicago/London/New York City (2 minutes max): Represent Chicago, IL, London, UK, or New York, NY
- Short Film/Machinima (3 minutes max): Original short story – drama, action, comedy, etc. – built with Roblox machinima
- Trailer (90 seconds max): Create a trailer for a game, movie or television series – real or totally fictitious
- Commercial (30 seconds max): Create the ultimate commercial, highlighting Builders Club or the limitless possibilities of Roblox
- Building/physics showcases (1 minute max): Footage of yourself building something awesome – a place or physics contraption (e.g., Rube Goldberg machine) – and speed the footage way up to show the whole process
After the videos were submitted, players had a week-long voting period to vote for the nominees of each video category. Roblox Staff then announced the nominees for each BLOXCon, meaning that each BLOXCon would have a winner for each video category. The winner of each category received a Bloxy Award, as well as having their film played at BLOXcon.[2]
The second part of the Bloxy awards was a Hall of Fame where administrators gave awards to Roblox builders. Like with the Roblox Film Festival, players had the opportunity to vote for the winners.[3]
