MULTICHOICE and Africa Magic have announced Femi Odugbemi as head judge for the 9th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards.
In a recent statement, the organisers revealed that Odugbemi will lead judges to choose winners of different categories in the 9th edition of the movie and film awards ceremony.
In his remarks, Odugbemi said: “From its very beginnings, the AMVCA has been a celebration of Africa, a celebration of our cultures, our heritage, our stories, our stars and the excellence of their talent. The work of our jury will be difficult as many of the shortlisted entries show technical excellence, great storytelling and enthralling performances. As usual there are categories of nominees as well where we invite you to vote for your favourite shows. Please support your choices with your vote.”
Announcing the schedule for the 9th AMVCA, Dr. Busola Tejumola, Head of Content and West Africa Channels said the event will be held between May 18 and 20.
Dr. Tejumola also noted that the three-day event will be a celebration of film production talents, culture, fashion, music and other elements of African entertainment.
Tejumola further said that the nominee announcement will be aired on April 9, at 7pm, across all Africa Magic channels, after which the voting portal will open.
