The event brings together animation experts from across the world to discuss trends in the animation industry. This event is well attended by big names in this industry.[1][2] The event venue is in Trivandrum, the capital city of Kerala in India. The speakers, known as 'masters' of the event, share their expertise and experiences with animation professionals and aspiring young talent.[3][4] The event happens during April/May every year, from 1999.[5][6] The event is a cross-section of mastery in animation, visual effects, and the media industry.[7]

The awards are given away in Animation Short Films, Animation TV Feature & Series, Live Action Short Films, and Short Film-Student categories.[8][6]
