The Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) awards nominations list has been released ahead of the 9th edition of the prestigious event.
The 9th edition of the AMVCA nominee announcement was aired on Sunday 16th of April at 7.00 pm.
The announcement was hosted by award-winning actors, Bisola Aiyeola and Adjetey Anang alongside the talented kid actors, Jasmine Olarotimi and Nifemi Lawal from the popular Africa Magic original telenovelas, The Johnsons, and Ajoche.
The annual event, which by tradition recognizes outstanding performances in television, film, and entertainment, has added digital content creation throughout Nollywood and the entire African content to the lineup.
