Africa Magic has announced the extention of the submission date for the 9th AMVCA awards that was scheduled to close on March 10, 2023 to March 17, 2023.
The prestigious award that recognizes the best of Nollywood was extended to give more filmakers a chance to submit their projects.
According to the organisers, the entry is open to all African filmmakers who had movies and films publicly exhibited or broadcast between December 1, 2021, and January 31, 2023.
Recalled that earlier in February, the organisers called for entries, asking filmakers to submit their projects between February 20, 2023, to March 10, 2023.
Following the extention, the entry portal which opened on February 20 will now close on March 17, 2023.
All films (aired in cinemas or otherwise), made-for-television movies, or television series are eligible so long as they fall within the specified timeline.
Speaking, the Head of Content and West Africa Channels, MultiChoice, Dr Busola Tejumola, said: “The AMVCAs returned last year after a one-year break with much pomp and pageantry.
We had an eight-day celebration filled with several activities affecting the different facets of our industry. Since then, we’ve seen more brilliant work we look forward to celebrating at the ninth edition of the awards. This year’s AMVCAs will once again demonstrate our intentionality in spotlighting the tremendous talent we have in the African film and TV industry.”
To enter the awards, all filmmakers must prepare a 5-minute-long showreel. The video must be less than 300MB and submitted on the Africa Magic website.
The website will allocate a unique reference number to each completed online submission and share more instructions.
