History
The Lux Style Awards were created in 2002 by Musharaf Hai, the Chairperson of Unilever Pakistan at the time.[1] It is the biggest annual awards ceremony held in Pakistan as of 2018.[2]
The ceremony was postponed in 2008 owing to security concerns and economic conditions, and it was decided to provide annual scholarships to students of the National College of Arts (TV and Film), National Academy of Performing Arts (Music), and to two fashion schools.[3]
Viewer's Choice Awards for best male and female actors had originally been added to engage audiences viewing the show. In 2019, it was decided to add critics' choice awards for these categories as well.[4]
