The Saxxy Awards were more than just a competition; they were a celebration of creativity and passion within the TF2 community. For years, animators pushed themselves to the limits to create some of the most amazing and awe-inspiring SFM animations the world has ever seen. These awards provided a platform for talented individuals to showcase their skills and gain recognition for their hard work.

The decision by Valve to discontinue the Saxxy Awards in 2017 was a profound loss for the community. It was not just about the awards themselves, but the ripple effect they created in nurturing creativity, fostering community spirit, and producing incredible content that entertained fans worldwide. The TF2 community felt a part of something much larger, something that motivated and inspired artists to innovate and excel in their craft.

The absence of the Saxxy Awards has left a void, not only in the community but also in the creative landscape of video game animation. Bringing back the Saxxy Awards would reignite the spark of innovation and creativity that so many animators thrived on. It would offer new animators a chance to shine and continue the tradition of excellence that the Saxxy Awards are known for.

Valve, we urge you to reconsider your decision and revive this beloved event. By doing so, you would not only honor the legacy of the Saxxy Awards but also support and encourage an ever-growing community of creators eager to express their love for TF2 through animation.

Sign this petition to show your support for the return of the Saxxy Awards. Let's bring back that creative energy and spirit to our community!
