The Rwanda International Movie Awards event recognizes the finest films produced by Rwandan and foreign movie producers.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s edition will see the increase in prizes, with organisers set to recognize outstanding filmmakers in 32 categories, up from 23 given out during the seventh edition two years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Among the categories added in the awards include the Best Child Actor, and Best Child Actress which were initiated to motivate children as well as Best Cultural content, a prize that will be given out to a filmmaker whose content promotes culture, among others.<\/p>\n<p>The latter also goes in line with this year\u2019s awards theme \u201cInclusion of My Culture into the Audio-Visual Industry\u201d as an occasion to encourage cultural promotion in the film industry.<\/p>\n<p>While trophies are lined-up for every award winner, the winners in the \u2018Best Choice Actor\u2019 and \u2018Best Choice Actress\u2019 of the year award winners will see themselves tussling out for a car, the grand prize in this year\u2019s awards.<\/p>\n<p>The car prize will go to one with the highest number of votes between the two while the second will be given a cheque worth an amount that is yet to be communicated but less the value of the car given to the winner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/rwanda\">Rwanda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Rwanda.
