There was a ''Roblox Film Festival'' in 2013 which had been previously announced on the blog and which started in late April and ended at midnight on 3 June 2013. Players were allowed to choose from a variety of categories, some applying to the ''Bloxcon'' events and create a short video of varying time lengths. For example, a user might enter a video showing what [[London]] is like. The winning video picked from each category relating to a ''Bloxcon'' was shown at the actual event. The prize is an award under the moniker "BLOXY", mocking the [[Academy Awards|Oscars]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Win a Prestigious Bloxy at the ROBLOX Film Festival!|url=http://blog.roblox.com/2013/04/win-a-prestigious-bloxy-at-the-roblox-film-festival/|publisher=Roblox Corporation|date = 13 April 2013|last = Haak|first = Andrew}}</ref>
