Organisers of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards, MultiChoice Nigeria and Africa Magic, are ready to roll out the red carpets for another year of recognising the best African talent.
MultiChoice Nigeria and Africa Magic call all African filmmakers to submit their movies and films publicly exhibited or broadcast between 1 December 2021, and 31 January 2023, for this year’s edition of the awards. The entry portal is now open and closes on 10 March 2023.
All films (aired in cinemas or otherwise), made-for-television movies or television series are eligible as long as they fall within the specified timeline. Speaking on the forthcoming ninth edition, MultiChoice Namibia Managing Director, Roger Gertze, said, “Namibia flew its flag high at the previous AMVCAs when Hairareb walked away with the Best Movie for Southern Africa.
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 ninth edition, slated for later this year, will see the return of the social media category with an award tagged ‘Best Online Social Content Creator’ which recognises the growing acceptance of content creators across Africa.
There are 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.
The fashion-forward ‘Best-dressed’ male and female categories will also return. To enter the awards, all filmmakers must prepare a five-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.

The ninth edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards is brought to you by Africa Magic in association with MultiChoice, and Amstel Malta is the headline sponsor.
