The awards ceremony was co-sponsored by Johnson & Johnson in 1998 later Lux took up the sponsorship in the next 5 years. Then there was Jiva soap in 2004 and then Ujala for many years. Since 2016, the function has been sponsored by Nirapara. Bhima Jewellers took the title sponsor in the 2018 event. The function is normally held in Kochi, Angamaly and Thiruvananthapuram, the cities in Kerala. It was also held twice in Dubai.
