And a People’s Choice Award will be given from the series or drama by audience vote.
The people concerned said that in this event, just as experienced people working on various platforms will be recognized, the work of newcomers will also be evaluated separately.
Tajdeen Hasan, Chief Business Officer of Daily Star, believes that OTT platforms are changing the nature of entertainment in the country. Those who are the driving force behind this change, whose creativity has undergone this radical change, should be paid tribute to them.

He said, ‘A large section of the country is now the viewer of OTT and digital platforms. The scope of work here is now increasing. People associated with these diverse works were not recognized in that sense. Our journey begins for the fourth time by standing by the creative spirit.’ Omar Hannan, General Manager of Ispahani Tea Limited, said, ‘Our participation in the event is out of an effort to celebrate creativity and be closely involved in this work of advancing the cultural trend of Bangladesh. We want to honor the talents who are building the future of OTT and digital content in the country.
