The Executive Head of Content and West Africa Channels at MultiChoice Nigeria, Dr. Busola Tejumola, has said that the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA) for this year will be held between May 18th and 20th in Lagos, Nigeria.
The awards which celebrate African movie talents will be a 3-day event starting with a cultural night to the Runaway show and nominee gala. The main awards will be held on May 20, 2023.
According to Tejumola, “This year’s AMVCA will once again demonstrate our intentionality in spotlighting the tremendous talent we have in the African film and TV industry.”
This year’s edition she revealed further, will see the return of the social media category which the fast-rising comedian, Sabinus, took home last year.
She said that the award tagged ‘Best Online Social Content Creator’ recognised the growing acceptance of content creators across Africa.
She explained that there were also categories like the Trailblazer and lifetime awards that 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.
“On the other hand, the veterans and Nollywood fans will have their fingers crossed on the African movie legend the award show will be celebrating this year.
“The fashion-forward ‘Best-Dressed’ male and female categories will also return, and attendees will be looking to beat Osas Ighodaro and Denola Grey’s gorgeous looks from last year,’’ she said.
