The Africa Movie Academy Awards was founded in 2005.
Mostly held annually in Nigeria, the AMAAs is without doubt the most
prestigious and glamorous African entertainment industry event of its kind on
the continent. Evolving from a one day event -- televised live -- to an
annually chronicled African event, the AMA Awards is now an established
engagement platform for filmmakers, industry professionals and all creative
industry stakeholders. The primary aim of the AMA Awards is to facilitate the
development and the showcasing of the social relevance of African film and cinema.
The awards are presented to recognize and honor excellence in professional
filmmaking in the African film industry and the African Diaspora.
Over the years, the award presentation has been
attended by numerous international media representatives, Hollywood
celebrities, Nigerian politicians, other African politicians, journalists, film
industry professionals, and actors and actresses from across Africa.
Filmmakers must ensure that for the 2018 edition of the
award, each completed entry form must be accompanied by all the supporting
materials listed on the submission forms, including the synopsis of the film,
the list of credits, marketing stills of the film, filmographies of the
directors and producers, copies of the film in 3DVDS or a hard drive plus a
compulsory online submission via vimeo / we transfer and proof of the right to
