Africa Magic, in association with Multichoice and Amstel Malta, is calling for entries for the 2017 edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCAs), the prestigious initiative that honours film and TV talent across the continent.

Billed to hold on the 3rd and 4th of March 2017, this will also mark the fifth consecutive year of the awards.

The AMVCAs were created to celebrate the contribution of African filmmakers, actors and technicians in the success of the continent’s film and television industry and with the success of the previous four editions, preparations are in top gear for the 2017 edition. Entries for the AMVCAs opened on the 1st of August and close on the 15th of October, 2016.
