The award-winning Blockdot projects are:

Taco Fu (Innovator Award)

The game is available on Blockdot’s gaming portal www.kewlbox.com and www.tacobell.com.

Chevycobaltlabs.com (Leader Award)
Chevycobaltabs.com, which aims to attract first-time auto buyers looking for a hip ride with great gas mileage, has raised the bar for automotive sites.  With its fuel-injected fun and street cred image, the site entices users to participate in the Cobalt community for extended periods of time.
