The Geometry Dash Awards is an annual Geometry Dash-related award show hosted by Viprin and promoted by the widespread Geometry Dash community, including RobTop. Nominees are chosen by some high-class community members and then are voted on by everyone in the Geometry Dash community. The event is split into two parts: a nominees video and a results video a few weeks after, both premiered on YouTube and Twitch. The award show is sometimes accompanied by a bonus component, such as an animation (2.1 Awards) or an augmented reality game (2.0 and 2.1 Awards). The nominees are premiered around mid-December and the results are premiered around the first week of January.

Awards are given to levels, players, creators, songs, and song artists that have made an impact on the community that year. The award show each year normally has around 18 to 20 categories, with around 4-6 nominees for each. Each category has requirements that a level/creator etc. must pass in order to be eligible for an award. The nominees chosen are generally based on popularity, which the award show has been criticized for, as community members have stated that unknown levels/creators have gotten completely ignored despite qualifying. Some nominees have also been generally disliked by the community.

The Geometry Dash Awards was originally about levels/creators etc. during a Geometry Dash update's lifespan, however, it was changed to an annual event as Update 2.2 was taking longer than expected. Viprin plans to continue the annual format instead of the update-based one.
