Last year an strong jury represented by C. P. Jain, Sanjay Pugalia, Dr. C. V. Kohli, Dr. U. D. Choubey, K. U. Rao and Sanjeev Kotnala and chaired by Justice R. C. Lahoti selected the winners. This year again a new jury panel has been constituted which will judge the entries towards the end of august 2010.
