Third Annual Saxxy Awards
| “ | It's almost awards season, and that can only mean one thing: For the next two months people from Hollywood are going to give each other spray-painted trophies and play music in the middle of one another's acceptance speeches. And when all the dust settles, all the Steven Spielbergs and Tom Hankses of the world will look down at their dumb little statuettes and think, "I wish I'd gotten a Saxxy."

The Third Annual Saxxy Awards is a Team Fortress 2 contest announced on October, 2, 2013. The event is based on that of the previous two years, the first annual and second annual Saxxy awards.
The categories are "Best Comedy", "Best Action", "Best Drama", "Best Short" and "Best Overall". A short category was added this year to give a better chance to those who make great videos under a minute. This year all entries needed to be made with the Source Filmaker, so no films from the Replay Editor would be accepted.
