The Africa Movie Academy Awards (AAMA), a celebration of the best movies and
professionals in the African film industry, invites filmmakers to submit their feature,
short or documentary for the 11th edition which takes place in 2015.
The deadline for submissions is 1 December 2014 and only films produced and/or
released between 1 December 2013 and 30 December 2014 are eligible for
consideration. Non-English films will need to be sub-titled in English.
According to The Nation online Tony Anih, director of administration says, “We have
given four months window to enable entries to come from all parts of Africa and from
the Diaspora filmmakers to give room for logistics of sending to our regional offices in
Ghana, Nairobi and Johannesburg and our Lagos Office.’
Submissions must be entered online at the AMAA website and each completed entry form must be
accompanied by all relevant supporting materials.
Anih adds, “We are proud of the work we have done with filmmakers across Africa in
the last 10 years; and moving into another 10 years starting from the 11th edition
next year, we are sure the future of AMAA and business of filmmaking in the continent
is very bright.’
