The Roblox Innovation Awards 2025 public-voting shortlist named four nominees in each of 18 categories. Voting has ended; Roblox’s hub pointed visitors to the awards show on September 6, 2025, for the winners. The roster below is attributed to Beebom’s list, updated August 2, 2025, because Roblox’s accessible official pages confirm the event but do not provide this complete named roster.

Why the nomination categories differ from the voting shortlist
Roblox’s June 6, 2025 nomination announcement invited write-in nominations across 20 categories, with nominations scheduled to close June 16 at 5 p.m. Pacific. That initial list included Best Collaboration, Best Use of IP, and Best Use of Immersive Marketing. When Roblox announced public voting on August 1, the published shortlist had 18 categories: it added Best Horror Experience and did not include those three earlier categories. The 20-category write-in form and the later 18-category shortlist are different stages, not conflicting versions of the same list.

Voting status and awards show
The Roblox Innovation Awards 2025 Voting Hub, created by Roblox Presents, says voting has concluded and points visitors to the show on September 6, 2025, for winners. Roblox’s voting announcement also said voters had a chance to obtain RIA-themed UGC items. The hub described dozens of nominated experiences available to explore there; that does not change the four named nominees per category in the published roster.
