MultiChoice and Africa Magic announce 2018 AMVCAs
Following months of speculation and anticipation, Africa Magic in association with MultiChoice, are proud to announce the call to entry for the 2018 edition of the AMVCAs, the prestigious initiative that honours film and TV talent across the continent.
The Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards (AMVCAs) were created to celebrate the contribution of African filmmakers, actors and technicians in the success of the continent's film and television industry and, with the success of the previous five editions, preparations are in top gear for the 2018 edition. Entries for the AMVCAs are open and will close on 30 April.
Wangi Mba-Uzoukwu, director for M-Net West Africa said nearly one year after the last AMVCAs, they are pleased to announce the call for entries for the 2018 edition of the awards. The African movie and television industry is brimming with exciting talent and Africa Magic contributes to the industry by not only giving these talents the platform to showcase their skills and passion, but by celebrating their achievements whilst also encouraging them to continue honing their craft.
The AMVCAs celebrate filmmakers in different categories ranging from acting and directing, to scriptwriting and cinematography.
This year, a number of awards in different categories will be presented. Other categories will include: short film or online video, soundtrack, costume design, and sound and lighting, amongst others. For 2018 there are 27 categories in all, with seven open to viewer voting and 20 decided by the respected AMVCA panel of judges.
Entry for the AMVCAs is free and the closing date for submissions is 30 April 2018. Films, made-for-television movies or television series previously entered into or nominated for an award, or awarded a prize in another film and television competition are eligible to be entered for the AMVCAs, and all films, made-for-television movies or television series are eligible for entry to the AMVCA if they are broadcast or publicly screened during the period of 1 October 2016 to 31 March 2018.
