This year, we look forward to putting a spotlight on even more brilliant local films at the awards. Therefore, we encourage the industry to submit the best of their productions and expose their talent to the African film and TV industry.”The event, slated for later this year, will see the return of the social media category, with an award for the best online social content creator, which recognises the growing acceptance of content creators across Africa. There are also categories honouring trailblazers and lifetime achievers, which are often emotional wins.Fast-rising actors in the period under review will be looking forward to winning the trailblazer award, which will mark a major milestone in their career. The fashion-forward ‘best dressed man and woman will also be rewarded.To enter, film-makers must prepare a five-minute showreel. The video must be less than 300MB and submitted on the Africa Magic website.
