Filmfare Awards OTT awards are back Hereâs all you need to know about the entries

The Filmfare Awards began as a platform that recognised excellence in Hindi cinema. Following that, we included South cinema, Marathi, Bengali, and even Bhojpuri cinema. We launched the OTT Awards three years ago, and the industry has been supportive throughout the process. The ceremony has received a fantastic response, with both creators and viewers giving it a thumbs up. Filmfare is now back with the fourth edition of the Filmfare OTT Awards 2022, following the phenomenal success of the previous three editions. These awards recognise the best artists and content creators in India’s dynamic Over The Top (OTT) space.

The current edition recognises Hindi web originals that were published between August 1, 2022 and July 31, 2023. The submission process for this prestigious award show is now open. OTT platforms and production houses can submit nominations for various categories, but their entries will be subject to a veto by their respective platforms. Each category may receive up to four nominations, and each listing will incur an entry fee. Entries must be submitted by September 15, 2023.
