AWARD PROCESS

Each month, nominations are invited through newspaper advertisements and promos on Zee Kannada. Nominations are also invited from experts in the respective field. All nominations are scrutinised by an eminent Jury headed by a retired High Court judge. Every month, the Jury selects five winners under different categories. The winners represent both youth and experience. The achievements of the winners are extensively showcased on Zee Kannada.

An interesting feature of the initiative is the participation of the people right from the process of nomination to the selection of the final winner. One among the five winners selected by the Jury is chosen by the people of State as Karnataka’s Best, through tele-voting. The Awards are presented at a ceremony during the third week of each month.

Award Trophy

The Essel Awards trophy is an out-stretched hand with a globe within. The underlying message is: Reach out, and the world will be in our hands.
