The award was introduced in 2023 to encourage excellence in broadcast journalism and cinematography in Bangladesh.

The award, established to honour the legacy of Mishuk Munier, welcomes audio-visual reports, feature films, and documentaries. Bangladeshi citizens above 18 years of age are encouraged to submit their creations in either Bangla or English, as outlined in the circular posted by Asif Munier, a journalist and Mishuk Munier's younger brother.
