The Gold Awards is an annual awards show that honours the best performers in the Hindi-language television industry.[1] [2] They were first awarded in 2007. Boroplus was the title sponsor for the first 10 editions after which Kesh King took over.
The awards are presented in various areas of excellence, such as popular programming, including music programmes, news, entertainment programmes, sports, travel, lifestyle and fashion; best television channel in a particular category including news, sports and entertainment; technical awards and popular awards. The event is managed by Vikaas Kalantari, founder of Gold Awards.[3]
It is an annual Hindi television award show with many categories, including categories for Indian soap opera. The awards are presented for outstanding achievements, both in popular as well as technical branches such as television software and crafts.[4] Initially the award show represented the best achievements of the year in the opinion of the TV industry. The voting was by industry workers right from the spot boys to actors, directors, writers and producers. Later, however, the voting system changed to an audience vote.[5]
In the year 2007 and 2008, more than 300 TV and film personalities attended the event held in Mauritius and Dubai respectively.[6] [7] [8]
