The Roblox Innovation Awards 2026 Voting Hub has six free UGC items, all claimable in a single session. The easiest is the Welcome Cap, whereas the hardest is the Programmer's Scrolls, which requires finding all seven hidden cubes across the hub. Vote in all 19 categories for the World Builder Hammer, visit a nominated game through a portal for the VFX Staff of Wizardry, take a screenshot for the Aura of Re-Animation, and finish the hidden obby for the Musical Mindset Aura. You need to claim all the rewards before August 11, 2026 at 8:00 PM PST.
The Roblox Innovation Awards 2026 Voting Hub is live and carrying six free UGC items for anyone willing to spend a few minutes completing simple activities. None of the objectives require spending Robux or owning anything special, just join the hub, explore it, and complete each task. The voting period runs from July 29 to August 11, 2026, so there is a limited window to grab everything. So, this guide walks through every reward and exactly how to unlock each one.

How to Get the RIA 2026 Welcome Cap?

The Welcome Cap is the simplest reward in the event. Launch [RIA26] The Block on Roblox and the badge is awarded automatically the moment you load into the experience. No extra steps, no objectives, just join the Experience and it is completed by default.
How to Get the RIA 2026 World Builder Hammer?

After spawning into the hub, walk straight forward and just before the large Roblox icon, step into the voting portal. Inside, vote for your preferred game or creator in the current category, then use the arrows to advance to the next one. Repeat this process across all 19 categories to earn the World Builder Hammer. Every category needs a vote, so skipping one will not trigger the reward.
How to Get the RIA 2026 VFX Staff of Wizardry?

Head to either side of the hub where the nominated game portals are located. Step on top of any portal, choose a featured experience, and let it load. You do not need to play for any specific amount of time, simply load in, then leave and return to the Innovation Awards hub. Once you are back, the RIA 2026 Interdimensional Travel badge unlocks alongside the VFX Staff of Wizardry.
How to Get the RIA 2026 Aura of Re-Animation?

Click the camera icon on the right side of your screen inside the hub to use Roblox's built-in capture feature. A single screenshot is all it takes. Completing it unlocks the RIA 2026 Smile, You're on Camera badge and drops the Aura of Re-Animation into your inventory immediately.
How to Get the RIA 2026 Programmer's Scrolls?

Seven cubes are scattered across the hub with no required collection order. Here are all seven locations:
- From spawn, take left and keep walking. The first cube floats on the second obby platform
- Continue left along the obstacle route, and at the first junction you will find another cube
- Come slightly back and take right toward the center of the lobby, then follow the obby to find a cube in the middle top section of the map
- From the large Roblox icon, take right along the obstacles. The fourth cube is at the end of that path
- From there, take the left obstacle path toward spawn and a cube is along the way
- Head to the right edge of the lobby and look behind the small speaker
- Near spawn, look left and go behind the large speaker to find the final cube
Once the seventh cube is collected, the RIA 2026 Techno Seeker badge unlocks and the Programmer's Scrolls are added to your inventory.
How to Get the RIA 2026 Musical Mindset Aura?

While hunting for the hidden cubes, you will come across a hidden obstacle course built into the edges of the hub. The path leading to cube number three runs through part of it. Follow the platforming route, clear the jumps and branching sections, and reach the end of the course.
Finishing it awards the RIA 2026 Obby Master badge and unlocks the Musical Mindset Aura. Completing the cube hunt and the obby at the same time is the best approach since the paths overlap and you can get several cubes naturally as you work through the hidden obstacle course.
