The Odisha State Film Awards have been conferred by the Department of Culture of the Government of Odisha, India.
The awards were initiated in 1968. The awards are decided by independent juries formed by the Department of Culture. The jury usually consists of eminent personalities from the film fraternity, academic, journalist and public servants.
Nine new awards were introduced in 2012: five for tribal language films, best dialogue writer, best costumer, best make-up artist, and best choreographer.
In 2023, the awards ceremonies for the years 2020, 2021, and 2022 were held with modifications to the rules instituted in 2010.
