Dear Jury Member,
Welcome

Preparation for Vote
- Read the rules outlined below in entirety.
- Please note that only films originally made in Hindi language are eligible for awards.
Ex: Bahubali 2 is ineligible because it is originally made in Telugu and dubbed in Hindi.
- Shortlist of a few noteworthy achievements in various categories are provided in the "For Your Consideration" post below.

- Make your final decision.

- Please submit the vote per instructions and the format. This is a painstaking manual tabulation process for the organizer to assess 21 categories in the fairest manner possible given the infrastructure constraints. Thanks for your understanding.
- No need to enter name of artists (ex. director, singers, technical ) unless asked. Most of the categories ask you to enter only the Film name. This is to make the tabulation process easy. When rolling up the final nominations, the host will list cite all the artists behind an achievement thoroughly.
