Winter 2021 Avatar Design Contest

January 29, 2021

Creators

We couldn’t go too long without seeing your creativity once again, so we decided it was time for another Avatar Design Contest! If you think your design is ready to join bundles like Digital Artist, Star-Mist Fairy, Nailah the Fortune Teller, and of course, Davy Bazooka, then it’s time to show us what you’ve got! If your design is picked as one of the winners, you’ll be rewarded with a sweet $500 cash prize and a spot in the Avatar Shop.

The contest starts today and ends Friday, February 19 at 1:00 PM PST. Here are the details:

How to Enter

Step 1) Design an Rthro bundle based on one or more of the categories below (multiple entries are allowed). You could sketch it out on paper, illustrate it using 2D drawing software, or even model it in 3D.

Step 2) Turn your design into an image file. Scan it, photograph it, or take a screen capture. We like to see all sides of your bundle concept, so don’t forget to show the front and the back!

Step 3) Follow @Roblox on Twitter and reply to our tweet announcing the contest. Include the image of your concept, a link to your Roblox profile, and the hashtag #AvatarDesignContest. Make sure to follow all these steps. If we don’t know your profile, we can’t give you your reward!

Judgment Criteria

Winners will be selected based on the following criteria:

Originality: Does your entry exhibit a style or aesthetic that is currently not available on Roblox?
Realism: Does your design look realistically proportioned and detailed? In other words, does it look more “live action” than cartoonish?
Creativity: How unique or creative is your entry?

As always, we can’t wait to see what the Roblox community creates. Good luck!

Winter 2021 Roblox Avatar Design Contest

Terms and Conditions

Thank you for being a part of Roblox! As we often say, Roblox is the Imagination Platform, the ultimate virtual universe where imagination rules. Key to that is your imagination and your participation. So, we are excited that you are taking part in the Winter 2021 Roblox Avatar Design Contest (“Contest”), which asks qualifying Roblox users (each an “Entrant”) to submit ideas for original, anthropomorphic avatar designs for distribution on Roblox (each an “Entry”).

1. Acceptance of Terms. Below are the terms and conditions that govern your participation in the Contest (“Contest Terms”). By entering the Contest, you agree that Roblox will own the Entry that you submit and only has an obligation to pay you if you are determined to be a Winner (as defined below) of the Contest. These Contest Terms are supplemental to the Roblox Terms of Use (“General Terms”) which govern your use of the Roblox websites or any Roblox products, software, applications, content, data feeds, and services (“Roblox Services”). The General Terms are incorporated herein by reference. You agree that as set forth in Section 11 of the General Terms that you are agreeing to arbitrate any dispute between us related to the Contest and that you are giving up your right to go to court (either individually or as part of the class action), except for matters that may be taken to a small claims court. In addition, all Twitter terms and conditions apply to your use of Twitter in connection with the Contest, and failure to comply with the Twitter terms of use which are displayed on www.Twitter.com will invalidate your Entry. If there is any conflict between the Contest Terms, on the one hand, and the Twitter terms and conditions, on the other hand, then the Contest Terms will apply in relation to disputes relating to the Contest. If you do not agree to the General Terms and the Contest Terms, you may not participate in the Contest. Twitter is not a sponsor of this Contest.

2. General Conditions. The Contest is open to Roblox registered users who are 13 years of age or older as of the Entry date and have a valid Twitter account. Roblox employees, their immediate family members and persons living in the same household are not eligible. The Contest is void where prohibited or limited by law or where registration, bonding or localization is required. No purchase or payment is necessary to enter the Contest, and a purchase or payment will not increase the chances of winning. Chance of winning depends on the skill of each Entrant and the number of Entrants. If an Entrant is under the age of majority in his/her state or country of residence, the Entrant may only enter the Contest, and is only eligible to win, with the consent of the Entrant’s parent or legal guardian. In such a case, you represent, warrant and covenant that both you and your parent or legal guardian have read these Contest Terms and agree to be bound thereby. You further acknowledge and agree that by entering the Contest you are accepting a benefit that you cannot return or disgorge and that we are relying on your representations regarding your ability to accept and perform these Contest Terms, and you therefore waive any right you may have under applicable law to void, rescind, or otherwise avoid these Contest Terms. We reserve the right to confirm parental consent at any time by any manner, including by having the Entrant’s parent or legal guardian sign a parental consent form. If you are a parent or guardian consenting to these Contest Terms on behalf of a child between the ages of 13 and 18, you additionally agree to guarantee and be fully responsible for that person’s performance hereunder, including all financial obligations or liability he or she may incur, and all disclaimers and waivers of applicable legal protections provided herein, and you agree to take all actions (including executing such additional documents or agreements) necessary to effect and perfect the foregoing. In such cases, prizes will be awarded in the name of the Winner’s (as defined below) parent or legal guardian. Any reference to an Entrant herein shall be deemed to include his/her parent or legal guardian, as applicable. In all other cases, you represent that you are 18 years or older and at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence and fully competent to enter, and you hereby agree and acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Official Rules without modification.

If a potential Winner is determined by us to be ineligible, unqualified to participate in this Contest, in violation of these Official Rules, or does not respond to our correspondence within 48 hours, the potential Winner may be disqualified and a new potential Winner may be selected under the same equally weighted criteria, if time permits. Roblox reserves the right to choose additional winners. Additionally, potential Winners will be required to sign a Winner’s Agreement further confirming the rights granted to Roblox.

5. Prize. The Winners will each receive five hundred United States dollars ($500 USD) in Roblox Gift Cards. If selected as a Winner, you agree to pay any taxes related to the prize required of you, and to provide the information necessary for us to facilitate payment of this prize. Failure to acknowledge receipt of your win, or provide your full name and address, within 48 hours of receiving notice of your win from Roblox (or within another claim period if specifically stated) may invalidate your Entry and we may pick an alternative Winner. You acknowledge that in the event you are a Winner, we may post your Twitter or Roblox user name on Twitter, Roblox and other places.

7. Cancellation.
