The entry deadline for the 8th Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards (AMVCAs) has been extended to Friday 28 January 2022.
Entries would have closed on 14 January but Africa's film and TV industry now have until 28 January to enter talent and work from between 1 December 2019 and 30 November 2021.
The 8th African Magic Viewers' Choice Awards will once again be staged in Lagos, Nigeria.
In October MultiChoice revealed that it would bring back the AMVCAs in 2022 after a year's absence.
The 8th Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards in 2022 will include a new category, Best Online Social Content Creator.
Returning to this year's edition is the Best Africa Magic Drama Series and Best
Africa Magic Original Comedy Series categories.
People and production companies that want to enter the 8th AMVCAs must prepare a 5-minute long showreel under 300 MB and log on to the Africa Magic website at www.africamagic.dstv.com, click on the AMVCA 8th edition banner and go to the submissions page where the submission form must be filled, and the clip uploaded.
A participant can submit multiple entries in different categories.
A reference number will be allocated for every completed online submission. A hard drive of the submitted project must then be sent to the head office of the relevant African region (Nigeria in West Africa, South Africa in Southern Africa, Kenya in East Africa).
