Nine Days Remain to Enter the Virtual BLOXcon Game Contest

By Andrew Haak - August 31, 2013

Last week, we kicked off a Virtual BLOXcon Game Contest, giving you the opportunity to have your BLOXcon-themed game featured at the big event on Saturday, September 21st. We know making a game and building a place are both time-consuming processes, so take this as a friendly reminder that the contest deadline is nine days away (technically, Sunday, September 8th at 11:59 p.m. PT).

In case you missed the news last week, here’s how the contest works.

Your Creation Could Be Featured at the Virtual BLOXcon on 9/21

As you probably know by now, we’re hosting a Virtual BLOXcon less than one month from today. Roughly 0.1% of ROBLOX’s population could actually attend one of this summer’s in-person BLOXcons, so this online event will give everyone a chance to experience some of the magic. The following is a tentative overview of what the Virtual BLOXcon will offer — including some of your creations.

Live streaming video from ROBLOX HQ. We’ll do live Q&A sessions, give away additional awards, talk about new ROBLOX product development, stream gameplay, and more. Think of it like the Main Stage Presentation we held at each BLOXcon, but a little more laid back and broken into separate segments.

It’s been a little while since we revealed any details about our fast-approaching BLOXcons – so today, we’re going to reveal the projected program for our Main Stage Presentation. This is a roughly two-hour show with exclusive news and announcements, two fantastic awards shows, a “State of ROBLOXia” from CEO David Baszucki, Q&A sessions and more.

Can’t Go to BLOXcon? Think Again!

Only a small fraction of ROBLOXia’s current population will actually get to attend the sold-out BLOXcon in person this summer. As much as we’d like to show up in every town and throw a live BLOXcon for you and your friends, we haven’t yet mastered the technology or hired the couple thousand minions we’d need to make that possible. Instead, we’re going to show up via the series of tubes that are The Internet this September for a virtual BLOXcon! While we hammer out the details of the event, save this date: Saturday, September 21st.

What do we have in mind for the virtual equivalent of BLOXcon? We’re planning to:
