The Tokyo Anime Awards started in 2002, but was named in 2005. The first, second and third award ceremonies were simply named 'Competition'.[http://www.tokyoanime.jp/taf2006/taf2005/2002/j/vote/index.htm 'Competition'] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070329040643/http://www.tokyoanime.jp/taf2006/taf2005/2002/j/vote/index.htm |date=2007-03-29 }} at the first event (2002), [http://www.tokyoanime.jp/taf2006/TAF2004/2003/e/compe/index.html outline of 'Competition']{{dead link|date=July 2018|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} at the second event (2003), [http://www.tokyoanime.jp/TAF2004/eng/competition/ 'Competition'] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080209202907/http://www.tokyoanime.jp/TAF2004/eng/competition/ |date=2008-02-09 }} at the third event (2004) The award ceremonies were held at the Tokyo International Anime Fair (TAF) until 2013. In 2014, after the merger of the Tokyo International Anime Fair with the Anime Contents Expo and the formation of the AnimeJapan convention, the Tokyo Anime Awards was changed into a separate festival called Tokyo Anime Awards Festival (TAAF).

Notably, there are Open Entry Awards for amateur creators (the Grand Prize winner is awarded with one million yen).[http://www.tokyoanime.jp/en/award/overview.html Information about the awards] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070706083918/http://www.tokyoanime.jp/en/award/overview.html |date=2007-07-06 }} at the 6th event (2007) Though there are ten main judges,[http://www.tokyoanime.jp/taf2006/TAF2004/2003/e/compe/iin.html judges]{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=no }} at the second event (2003) in English, [http://www.tokyoanime.jp/taf2006/ja/challenge/panelists.html judges]{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=no }} at the fifth event (2006) in Japanese the total number of judges is over one hundred people.[http://www.tokyoanime.jp/taf2006/taf2005/2002/j/vote/shinsain.htm#academy judges]{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=no }} at the first event (2002).

There was 197 judges. See the comment of Joe Hisaishi Various groups participate in judging the festival, such as anime studio staff members, professors of universities, as well as producers and chief editors of various magazines. (See also: Animation Kobe).

Animation of the Year

All anime released from December 1 of the year before the festival to November 30 of the current year in Japan become candidates. The anime that best represents the category in which it was nominated will be chosen as the winner of that category.

In the first year of the celebration, the award was given to Spirited Away as 'Grand Prix'. In the second year, there was no Animation of the Year award; therefore, the 'Best Entry Awards' in the 'Notable Entries' are often recognized as 'Grand Prix', they were: Millennium Actress (film), Hanada Shōnen-shi (TV) and Sentō Yōsei Yukikaze (OVA)

Since 2014, the Tokyo Anime Award Festival has awarded a grand prize for anime of the year in two categories, film and television.

:a. {{note|a}}Anime of the Year Grand Prize for Best Picture

Anime Fan Award

Picking from over 300-400 titles from television and films, anime fans vote from the candidate pool to pick the best 100 from those titles, with 20 of these titles being films and 80 being television titles. Fans then participate in a runoff vote in order to determine a recipient amongst the 100 chosen titles for the Anime Fan Award.

Initial qualifications to become candidates required titles to have aired from November of the year before the festival to October of the current year in Japan. However, this has since been twice changed — first in 2017 to be from October to October, and again in 2020 to be from October to September.{{cite web|title=Award-winning works|url=https://animefestival.jp/ja/award/aoy/archive/ |website=animefestival.jp|access-date=9 February 2023}}
