The jury typically comprises eminent personalities from the film industry.

A separate jury is constituted for the awards recognizing literature on cinema.

Films are invited for consideration annually, and the jury evaluates the submissions to select the winners.

The awards aim to promote artistic excellence in cinema and incentivize filmmakers, technicians, and producers.

This year's award ceremony took place at Dadaji Kondadev Stadium, Thane, with the then Chief Minister of Maharashtra (late) Vilasrao Deshmukh inaugurating the function.
