It was founded in 1962, by Government Information Office, [[Republic of China]] (Taiwan). The awards ceremony is usually held in November or December in [[Taipei]], though the venue has been shifted around the island in recent times. The festival and awards are organised by Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival Executive Committee and is Taiwan's equivalent to the [[Academy Awards]]. The awards are contested by [[Chinese language|Chinese-language]] submissions from Taiwan, [[Hong Kong]], [[People's Republic of China]] (PRC) and elsewhere. It is one of the four major Chinese-language film awards, along with [[Hong Kong Film Award]], [[Golden Rooster Awards]] and [[Hundred Flowers Awards]]. It is also one of major annual awards presented in Taiwan along with [[Golden Bell Awards]] for television production and [[Golden Melody Awards]] for music.

A majority of the film winners in the history of the awards have been Hong Kong productions. In May 1962, the [[Government Information Office]] of the [[Republic of China]] (ROC) enacted the “[[Standard Mandarin|Mandarin]] Film Award Regulation of Year 1962” to officially found the Golden Horse Awards. The name "Golden Horse" ({{lang|zh-tw|金馬}}) comes from the islands of [[Kinmen]] ({{lang|zh-tw|'''金'''門}}) and [[Matsu Islands|Matsu]] ({{lang|zh-tw|'''馬'''祖}}), which are under ROC control. Under current regulations, any film made primarily in a [[Chinese language]] is eligible for competition. Since 1996, a liberalization act allows for films from [[mainland China]] to enter the Awards. Mainland artists or films have won several times, such as [[Jiang Wen]]'s ''[[In the Heat of the Sun]]'' in 1996, Best Actor for [[Xia Yu]] (夏雨) in 1996, [[Joan Chen]]'s ''[[Xiu Xiu: the Sent down Girl]]'' in 1999, Best Actress for [[Qin Hailu]] (秦海璐) in 2001 and [[Lu Chuan]]'s ''[[Kekexili: Mountain Patrol]]'' in 2004.
