I appreciate the constructive criticism for the idea, however I disagree with the statement you're making.
First and foremost, I believe such a certificate would prove beneficial for all recipients of a BLOXY Award.
The benefits of the certificate are not just limited to material for future employers. Such a certificate would also prove beneficial for those applying to college, for example.
1.)
Many game studios these days request a portfolio of work before they employ an individual.
Providing a certificate which proves you were the recipient of the "Best Single Player Game" award on a *game platform with more than 4.33 million active users* would unquestionably boost your application considerably.
Replace "Best Single Player Game" above with "Developer of the Year", "Best Mobile Game", or any other title under the ROBLOX Builders or ROBLOX Developers award headings (as on the ROBLOX blog Bloxy Awards 2015 article) and the above argument stays true.
2.)
In regards the other titles under the headings of ROBLOX Community and ROBLOX Creators, such as "Favorite Social Group" and "Best Fan Art", the same benefits apply. Being given a certificate for leading ROBLOX's "Favorite Social Group", for example, indicates to others that you can manage responsibility, lead a team, etc. - all attributes collages / employers seek.
Providing proof that you were the recipient of the "Best Fan Art" award can benefit those applying for a place in areas which seek creative talent, graphic design college courses, etc.
What do other people think?
I would love to hear what a member of the ROBLOX team thinks of the idea. |
