The Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2024 by inviting film submissions from across the continent.
To mark this milestone, the deadline for late entries has been extended to August 10, 2024.
Founded by the late Peace Anyiam-Osigwe, the AMAA was created to honor and elevate African cinema.
Her visionary efforts laid the groundwork for a thriving Nollywood and expanded the global recognition of African films.
The AMAA has consistently aimed to celebrate excellence in filmmaking, build professional networks, and highlight the exceptional talents within the industry.
As we commemorate two decades of the awards, we also pay tribute to Peace Anyiam-Osigwe for her profound impact on the industry, which has helped connect seasoned professionals with emerging talents and fostered new collaborations.
For the 20th edition of the AMAA, films including features, shorts, and documentaries released between January 2023 and July 2024 are eligible for submission.
This extended call allows filmmakers from all over Africa to participate in celebrating the rich tapestry of African storytelling through cinema.
