The highly anticipated ninth edition of the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards will hold between May 18 and 20, 2023, the organisers have said.
The prestigious event, which is organised by Multichoice in partnership with Africa Magic, will be a ‘three-day celebration of film production talents, culture, fashion, music and other elements of African entertainment’.
Announcing the schedule for the event, the Head of Content and West Africa Channels at MultiChoice, Busola Tejumola, said, “The AMVCA has in the last eight years become the unit by which excellence is measured and recognised.
“This year, in partnership with Amstel and Zagg Energy Drink, we will be hosting a three-day event. We have a 40 per cent increase in the number of entries, compared to the last edition. Shortlisting has begun and we will move to the judging phase. The Head Judge for the ninth AMVCA is the veteran filmmaker, Femi Odugbemi. The announcement of nominees will be on April 9 at 7pm, across all Africa Magic channels; after which the voting portal will open.”
Tejumola added that the three-day extravaganza will start on May 18 with the ‘Opening Night and Cultural Day’ event, followed by the ‘Digital Content Creators, Young Filmmakers Day’, to be followed by the ‘Runway Show/Nominee Gala’ on May 19. The celebration will climax with the award night on May 20.
