The organisers of Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards, MultiChoice Nigeria and Africa Magic, have called for entries ahead of the award’s ninth edition.
This is coming following the eight day extravagant eighth edition that held at the Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos, Nigeria in 2022.
The organisers have called on all African filmmakers to submit their movies and films publicly exhibited or broadcast between December 1, 2021, and January 31, 2023, for the 2023 edition of the awards ceremony.
In the call, organisers stressed that the entry portal opened on February 20, 2023, and closes on March 10, 2023 saying all films (aired in cinemas or otherwise), made-for-television movies or television series are eligible so long as they fall within the specified timeline.
On the forthcoming ninth edition, the Head of Content and West Africa Channels MultiChoice, Dr Busola Tejumola said: “The AMVCAs returned last year after a one-year break with much pomp and pageantry. We had an eight-day celebration filled with several activities affecting the different facets of our industry. Since then, we’ve seen more brilliant work we look forward to celebrating at the ninth edition of the awards. This year’s AMVCAs will once again demonstrate our intentionality in spotlighting the tremendous talent we have in the African film and TV industry.”
The ninth edition, slated for later in the year, will see the return of the social media category which was won by Sabinus in 2022. The award tagged ‘Best Online Social Content Creator’ recognises the growing acceptance of content creators across Africa. There are also categories like the trailblazer and lifetime awards that are often emotional wins.
