Registration process
Uber interested organizers line up every year, only to be a part of this grand ceremony. The roadmap to this prestigious award obviously begins with the registration process. The link to the form was up on the website for a month, where clubs and puja committees from all around the city had applied to participate. Registration is indeed a vital and extensive process.
SELECTION PROCESS
The registration process for the awards show garnered a massive response with more than 350 applications submitted. Clubs and committees were all vying for the prestigious award and the accompanying prize money. However, the sheer number of applications required expert opinions and judgment to select the most deserving winners.
SELECTION AS PER PRE-REQUISITES
In the initial round of selection for the GSOE awards 2025, the in-house judges had to set some basic parameters and prerequisites. After reviewing the huge number of applications based on these criteria, only 155 out of the 300 puja committees that had applied were deemed eligible to advance to the semi final round.
SELECTION BY CELEBRITY JUDGES
The Grand Finale round exuded splendor in its true sense. The popular Bengali celebrity names were present in the judges panel to decide on the winners. They personally visited the clubs and handpicked the most deserving efforts and initiatives. These selective pujas were awarded as the winners of this whole program. 12 clubs were selected, to receive their prize money and celebrate.
Renowned Bengali actors & actresses such as Rajatava Dutta, Anirban Chakrabarti, Rishav Basu, Sohini Sarkar, Alexandra Taylor, Payel Mukherjee, and Sandipta Sen were part of the judges’ panel, adding strong representation from film, television, and creative industries.
