The Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) has begun accepting applications for its 20th year of displaying and honouring milestones in the African film industry, and with Lagos as the host state, the governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, will serve as host for the 20th edition of the AMAA.
Chair/CEO of the AFA board, Raymond Anyiam-Osigwe, stated in a press release that this year’s event will honour the late founder Peace Anyiam-Osigwe as well as the achievements the academy has made to the African cinema industry since its founding.
“This is an avenue to officially end the 19th edition of the AMAAs under the supervision of the Africa Film Academy and begin the journey to AMAA 2024. The 20th Edition of the AMAA, will serve as a testimony to African Creativity as we celebrate and toast not just the founder, Peace Anyiam-Osigwe, of blessed memory and her contribution in placing African film and filmmakers on the global stage [and] also the 20 years of the AMAA, which showcases the finest in African film and cinematography,” he said.
