How is the Nation Film Award Conducted?
The National Awards for films, which were started as an annual incentive by the Government of India, for the making of artistic, competent and meaningful films have come a long way, to cover the entire national spectrum of Indian Cinema, to judge merit by the highest possible yardstick and to become the most coveted and prestigious awards in the country.
From 1954, when the very first awards for the films of 1953 were given, down to the current year when the top awards for the films of 2016 were recently given, there lies the 64 years old story of an awards scheme, which is surely the most unique of its kind. The awards are given in three sections – Feature Films, Non-Feature Films and Best Writing on Cinema.
Every year a national panel appointed by the government selects the winning categories. A list of rule sis prescribed every year in a document of regulations known as the National Film Award Regulations. Neither the government nor the directorate of the film festival have the influence over which films are selected for consideration and which films ultimately win awards. award ceremony is held in New Delhi where the President of India presents the awards. This is followed by the inauguration of the National Film Festival, where the award-winning films are screened for the public.
