Producers Guild Film Awards


The Producers Guild Film Awards, previously known as the Apsara Awards and the Star Guild Awards is an award event hosted by the Producers Guild of India to recognise excellence in Hindi film and television. Originated by filmmaker and scholar Amit Khanna in 2004, the Guild Awards were one of the major award events from 2004 till 2016, when the last awards ceremony happened. The 22-karat gold statuette was sculpted and designed by the jewellery brand Tanishq and was "inspired by the rich heritage of one of India's most treasured possessions – the Ajanta and Ellora Caves." Nominations for the awards come from selected members of the guild, with the full membership available to vote for the winners. The ballots cast by the guild members are then taken to a common venue for the final counting.

History

The first ceremony was held on 28 May 2004 in Mumbai, India to honour outstanding film and television achievements of the 2003–04 film and television season. While the award ceremonies are usually held at the beginning of the subsequent year, the fourth edition of the award ceremony was postponed to the end of the year as a sign of respect to the victims of the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
