Originating as the "Roblox Hall of Fame" in 2013, the Bloxy Awards has gone through many changes since its debut nearly a decade ago. Now, in 2022, the Bloxy Awards faces yet another change—a full rebrand into the Roblox Innovation Awards. Complete with a full white-and-gold makeover, the Roblox Innovation Awards will take the place of the previous Bloxy Awards and continue the legacy of recognizing the most influential, successful, and forward-thinking creators, developers, and experiences.
Though this change has been rumored since the start of 2022, it was officially announced on July 14, 2022, via an official statement posted to the Roblox Blog. In this statement, Roblox's VP of Developer Relations, Matt Curtis, mentions the official Roblox Innovation Awards Voting Hub which, at the time of this article's publication, is currently open for players to enter and explore. By joining this experience, users have the opportunity to cast their votes in various categories, including Best Content Update, People's Choice, and more. The full list of categories and their nominees can be found below.

While the Innovation Awards has fewer categories than previous Bloxy Awards, with only five categories available for players to vote in compared to the usual 14, it's possible that more categories could be added to the Roblox Innovation Awards Voting Hub before voting closes on July 27, 2022.
After voting closes, the winners will be announced live at the Roblox Developer Conference (RDC) happening on Sept. 10, 2022, making the Innovation Awards the first Roblox award show to ever take place on a physical stage in front of a live audience. The award show will also be live streamed for those watching at home.
To keep players occupied until the Innovation Awards, six free UGC items can be earned inside of the Roblox Innovation Awards Voting Hub by completing various quests along with a multi-part scavenger hunt. When the Innovation Awards go live in September, be sure to return to Pro Game Guides for the most up-to-date coverage on winners, announcements, and more.
