The Roblox Innovation Awards 2022 was a Roblox event that first started with the release of the voting hub on July 14, 2022. It is a new rendition of the Bloxy Awards.
On February 18, 2022, the event, under the original title 9th Annual Bloxy Awards was officially announced by on the DevForum;https://devforum.roblox.com/t/bloxy-awards-2022-coming-this-fall/1672169https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi7Y6QEJBgQ Before the event was announced, Roblox started to get big criticism for possibly cancelling the show.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjqtShdR31Mhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-YRRlmihu8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi7Y6QEJBgQ She stated that the reason why the event got pushed back to Autumn of 2022 was mainly because the developers were trying to produce an inspirational event, compared to the past Bloxy Awards.
Later that year in early-July, Roblox renamed the title to Roblox Innovation Awards, resulting in huge backlash from the community.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5EMNoFjvcQ The event awards part had its premiere virtually from the Roblox Developers Conference, on September 10, 2022.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDkcr3v1w3g

== Controversy==
===Clickbait games ===
Following the premiere of the voting hub, numerous clickbait experiences were released. These included fake gamepasses promising the items and had people liking and stay AFK in the game if they wanted it without buying gamepasses. They also had a pop-up for the Circlet of Patience due to it being highly wanted with its resemblance to Valkyrie Helm. This caused people to think the experiences were real due to their high player count and like to dislike ratio. The fake experiences also had disabled in-game chat to prevent players from exposing the scam to other players. Roblox has taken down a few, but some fake experiences still remain.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skoTOyjL0CY&ab_channel=Rainster
===Missing categories and nominees===
On the show, a lot of categories were not shown, leading to misunderstanding and confusion in the Roblox community. However, a few minutes after the show ended, the Roblox account on Twitter published the results of the skipped categories. Also, the ' video nominated on the "Video Star Video of the Year" category was not shown, leading to anger of his fanbase. However, PGHLFilms didn't get mad at Roblox, he said the whole situation was funny.
===Builderman Award of Excellence===
The Builderman Award of Excellence was given to starving artists, a donation game, however, the game is for many considered a copy/inspiration of PLS DONATE, what led to the game's community to be angry at Roblox for not choosing the game that "started the donation games" for the award.
