The Seventh Annual Saxxy Awards!







It's time to announce the Saxxy Awards for 2017, and we couldn't be more excited!

We can't wait to see what variety of amazing videos you create! Don't forget that all Valve universes are available for use, and SFM shorts that were submitted to the Dota Short Film Contest are also eligible for this year's Saxxy Awards. The submission deadline is March 8th, 2018, but as always, we'd like to remind you that you can upload non-final versions up to a week in advance of the final deadline, to guard against last-minute computer failures, internet outages, YouTube login problems, etc.

Check out the guidelines for details on the rules and deadlines, and get your entries ready!

Congratulations to the winners of the 2016 Saxxy Awards!

While we're saddened that the end of the 2016 Saxxy Awards is here, we're thrilled to be handing out the golden Saxxy statuettes for the winners! We're still laughing at some of the short and comedy entries - probably more than is really healthy. We're also incredibly excited to be extending an invitation to the overall winners to visit us at Valve headquarters.

One of the unexpected pleasures of the Saxxy Awards for us is that by flying the overall winners to Seattle, we've often been bringing teams together for the first time. Many of the winning teams were spread across multiple countries, and for those teams, getting to meet each other in person on the Valve trip was a fantastic extra bonus.
