Logitech extension ‘Logitech for Creators’ has announced the second annual Song Breaker Awards premiering this Saturday, April 30 at 10am PST wherein the ceremony will be done in the Metaverse through Roblox.

The awards are dedicated to honor creators who influenced pop music through dance challenges, memes, and trends that they’ve initiated and were shared on social media like on TikTok and YouTube over the past years.

For those who want to experience the pre-show in Roblox, everyone can ride a rollercoaster, earn Creator Coins, gather badges by playing to unlock special goodies, take a “selfie XL photo” with their colleagues, hangout with other people at the Creator Society Cafe and DEFY LOGIC Lounge, and you can also buy exclusive merchandise like Pop Key hats, Litra Glow wings and Lizzo concert t-shirts for your avatar from the Logitech for Creators virtual store.
