History

The Screen Awards, initiated by Ananya Goenka in 1994 of The Indian Express Group, is focused on films in India. The awards attempts to position themselves as India's first awards that are given by the film fraternity to the film fraternity by way of a jury, as opposed to the other "popular" awards.

The Screen Awards are different from other "popularity" awards; the entire nomination and selection for the Screen Awards is done by a panel of distinguished professional from the industry itself—in a manner similar to that of the Oscars. And the criteria for winning is professional excellence, not just popular view.

The Awards for Hindi/Marathi films and TV and Non-film Music are presented annually at a glittering function in January each year, at the Andheri Sports Complex, Mumbai. Seven editions of the awards have thus far been presented. For the regional cinema of South India. Screen has held three editions of the "Screen Awards for excellence in South Indian Cinema". The awards are presented for Tamil/ Telugu/ Malayalam/ Kannada Cinema.
