\u2022 AMVCAs to include new category for Best Online Social Content Creator<\/p>\n

\u2022 Amstel Malta is Headline Sponsor for Eighth Edition<\/p>\n

WINDHOEK 7 DEC \u2013 Africa Magic, in association with MultiChoice, announced the call to entry for the eighth edition of the Africa Magic Viewers\u2019 Choice Awards (AMVCAs). Entries opened on Friday, 3 December 2021 and closes on Friday, 14 January 2022.<\/p>\n

Films, made-for-television movies or television series previously entered or nominated for an award, or awarded a prize in another film and television competition are eligible to enter for the AMVCAs. In addition, all films, made-for-television movies or television series are eligible for entry to the AMVCA if they were broadcast, publicly screened or exhibited from 1 December 2019 to 30 November 2021.<\/p>\n

Hailed as the premium awards for filmmakers in Africa, the AMVCAs has recognized and celebrated outstanding achievements in the African film and TV industry both in front and behind the cameras.<\/p>\n

Following the seventh edition in 2020, plans for the next instalment were put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the attendant concerns on the health and safety of all stakeholders. The AMVCAs will now take place in Lagos, Nigeria in 2022 with Amstel Malta as headline sponsor.<\/p>\n

Chief Executive Officer, MultiChoice Nigeria, John Ugbe, said: \u201cLast year was indeed a tough one for the world with the global pandemic, however the industry continues to thrive against all odds. We are proud of the improvements seen across different fields in the industry since the inception of the awards in 2013. The eighth edition of the AMVCAs once again demonstrates our commitment to spotlight the immense talent we have in the African film and TV industry and promises to leave a much bigger impact than previous editions.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the eighth edition, organizers have announced the introduction of a new category for Best Online Social Content Creator in recognition and acceptance of the growing popularity and quality of social media content across the continent.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very excited about the Best Online Social Content Creator category as we believe this will further underscore our commitment to represent all content creators and inspire new talent. There is no better time than now to recognize and celebrate this growing digital community as we stage the eight edition of the awards,\u201d said Dr. Busola Tejumola, Executive Head, Content and West Africa Channels at MultiChoice Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The eighth edition will also see the return of the Best Africa Magic Original Drama Series, Best Africa Magic Original Comedy Series as well as the Best Dressed Male and Female, which will be voted for on the night of the event.<\/p>\n
