In February, Africa Magic announced entries for the ninth edition of the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards. Later in March, the awards announced an extension, and that was just what the industry needed.
At the recently held AMVCA press conference at the Mariott Lagos Hotel, the Executive Head of Content and West Africa Channels at MultiChoice, Dr Busola Tejumola, shared that the prestigious awards received over 40% more entries this year than the previous one.
Here are three things you should know about AMVCA 2023:
- AMVCA will hold on May 18 – May 20, 2023 in Lagos
- Veteran film director, producer and writer Femi Odugbemi was announced as the Head Judge for the ninth AMVCA.
- Tejumola disclosed that the three-day celebration will start with the opening Night and Cultural Day event, followed by the Digital Content Creators, Young Filmmakers Day and then the Runway Show/Nominee Gala the next day. Finally, the celebrations will end with the Award Night.
Africa Magic will reveal the nominees at 7 pm on April 9, 2023, across all Africa Magic channels. Fans will have voting access in specific categories for their best films, actors, or social media content creator.
