ROBLOX Game Trailer Contest: The Winners

By John Shedletsky - September 14, 2012

The results are in!

Hundreds of ROBLOX users shot, edited and submitted video trailers for their games after we announced our video trailer contest a couple weeks ago. We rounded up the entries and narrowed it down to the 24 best video trailers, then left it up to our users to choose the top five. Each of the five winners banks 20,000 Robux. Plus, everyone who participated receives this Director’s hat to represent their artistic vision and style wherever they go in ROBLOX.

3,000 ROBLOX users voted and the results we’re so close that the top two submissions were separated by a fraction of a point. Here are your choices:

On August 31st we launched a game trailer video contest (it’s not too late to enter – the submission deadline is Monday Sept 10th). There have been more than 200 entries so far, and many of them are fantastic. The staff is still going through submissions and we’re evaluating different methods for picking winners. Take a look at some of our early favorites (these videos have not won anything yet except for our admiration)…

Game Trailer Video Contest

By John Shedletsky - August 31, 2012

Directors! ROBLOX is hosting a game trailer video contest. For the next 10 days, uploading a video trailer to your game page is 50% off. Furthermore, all new trailers added to ROBLOX games in the next 10 days will automatically be entered into a contest. We will reward the creators of the top five new trailers with fabulous virtual trophies and 20,000 ROBUX each.

As you may remember, we first added the ability for a ROBLOX game to have a 30-second video trailer back in April. And, because we think this feature is awesome, we’re actively promoting its use.

The contest will run from today, August 31, until Monday, September 10.

Tim Brown’s Hack Week project has been finished and released, giving ROBLOX users a powerful tool to engage players.

Back in January, we introduced you to a feature that would let you add a rich media gallery, including videos and images, to your ROBLOX place. We’re happy to announce the feature is now available.

ROBLOX is about user-created content, and our users have created a lot of content — so much that you’d be hard-pressed to experience all of it in a lifetime. ROBLOX players need to be able to get to the good stuff, fast.
