The logo for The Geometry Dash 2024 Awards
The Geometry Dash Awards is an annual event hosted by Viprin during January and February, and promoted by the Geometry Dash community, including RobTop. It celebrates the game's top levels, creators, and community contributions from the past year. The event is divided into two parts: a nominees video and a results video, released on YouTube (and occasionally Twitch) a few weeks apart. Nominations are selected through community polls and input from high-level community members, with winners determined by community voting via Google Forms.
Originally tied to Geometry Dash updates, the awards shifted to an annual format in 2020 due to delays in Update 2.2. Viprin plans to maintain this yearly structure. The event typically features 18-20 categories, with varying numbers of nominees per category. While nominations often reflect popularity, this has drawn criticism for overlooking lesser-known but deserving creators and levels. Some nominees, like xo for Best Extreme Demon in 2020, have also sparked controversy.
The awards occasionally include bonus content, such as animations or augmented reality games, adding to the event's appeal. Nominations are announced in mid-December, with results revealed in late December or early January.
Structure[]
The Geometry Dash Awards follows a structure similar to traditional award ceremonies. Each category is introduced, followed by a showcase of its nominees through short videos. At the end of the nominees video, the audience is encouraged to vote via a Google Form. The results video mirrors this format but only highlights the winner of each category with a showcase. While only one winner is chosen per category, a nominee can win in multiple categories. The categories vary each year, reflecting different aspects of the Geometry Dash community.

Award shows[]
There have been seven award shows throughout the history of the awards.
Geometry Dash 2.0 Awards[]
The Geometry Dash 2.0 Awards Nominees and Results premiered on Viprin's channel on November 26th, 2016, and December 2nd, 2016, respectively. As the first official award show, it covered Update 2.0's lifespan and served as a send-off to 2.0, with Update 2.1 set to release soon after. The category list differed significantly from future shows, though many categories remained. The event featured a two-part ARG (augmented reality game) that rewarded the community with the 2.1 vault code "Octocube."
Geometry Dash 2.1 Awards[]
An animation titled "Prelude," created by rafer with help from Viprin, premiered on December 14th, 2019, before the 2.1 awards. It included voice acting by Norcda Childa and Colon, with cameos from prominent community members like TrusTa, GuitarHeroStyles, and EricVanWilderman. The soundtrack was composed by TheDevon (noveDehT) and included songs by Creo.
The Geometry Dash 2.1 Awards Nominees and Results premiered on December 14th, 2019 and December 29th, 2019, respectively. The show covered Update 2.1's lifespan up to December 2019. Unique categories included Best Gauntlet Level and Best Content Creator. The results were delayed by one day due to technical issues.
ARG[]
The show featured a two-part ARG. The first part began during the nominees video, revealing a link to a skiing game by Etzer, leading to a series of puzzles. The second part started during the results video, showcasing a puzzle board that, when solved, revealed 2.2 icons and the vault code "d4sHg30mE7ry." Full puzzle details can be found here (Part 1) and here (Part 2).
Geometry Dash 2020 Awards[]
The Geometry Dash 2020 Awards Nominees and Results premiered on December 19th, 2020, and January 2nd, 2021, respectively. This was the first annual installment, covering December 2019 to November 2020. New categories included Best Modern Level, Best Effect Level, Best Art Level, and Best Extreme Demon. The Best Content Creator category was split into Best Streamer and Best YouTuber, while Best Game Recreation and Best Original Game were merged into Best Minigame. The maximum nominees per category increased from four to six.
Geometry Dash 2021 Awards[]
The Geometry Dash 2021 Awards Nominees premiered on December 22nd, 2021 (delayed from December 18th). The show covered December 2020 to November 2021 and featured an animation by Rawin and rafer, showcasing iconic levels from Geometry Dash's history. Best Story was added as a new category, while Best Song was removed. The nomination process was updated to allow creators to qualify with two minutes of created levels, including collaboration parts.
Geometry Dash 2022 Awards[]
The Geometry Dash 2022 Awards Nominees premiered on December 17th, 2022. The only new category introduced was Best Video.
The Geometry Dash Awards 2023 and Rework[]
On June 2nd, 2023, Viprin announced a rework of the awards system, shifting from decoration-based to difficulty-based categories.[1] This change addressed issues like debates over level classifications (e.g., White Space by Xender Game) and limitations on category eligibility (e.g., LIMBO by MindCap). Creator categories were merged into Best Creator, and Best Music Artist was removed.
The nominees premiered on January 20th, 2024 (delayed due to Update 2.2's release) on RobTop's channel, with results announced on February 3rd, 2024.
The Geometry Dash Awards 2024 and Rework[]
Following Update 2.2, the awards system was reworked again to include platformer mode categories, such as platformer levels, creators, and players. To streamline the event, levels were grouped into difficulty intervals (e.g., Easy and Medium Demons merged into one category). The nominees were revealed on February 15th, 2025, with winners announced on March 1st, 2025.
