Coming back for its 3rd year, the Resonance Awards are a community-driven award show hosted by Astral Industries to celebrate the best and brightest developers, community members, games, and groups in the Roblox Sci-Fi community.Voting takes place in 2 phases:1. Open Nomination (November 1 - 28)
Community members nominate any game, project, developer, etc. for whatever awards they would like. Once submissions are received, the Astral Industries staff team will go through each category and put together the best 4-6 nominees for Phase 2 voting. An optional survey about demographics and opinions on the event is also attached.
2. Final Voting (December 1 - 22)
A simple ballot with the nominees of each category used to determine the final winner of each category. If a tie occurs, the winner was decided by a vote of the Polaris Media event staff team. If that vote ties, AstraX2 would have broken the tie.
