This year’s edition shows a stronger commitment to representing the whole of Africa, as AMVCA continues to position itself as a pan-African body. In line with this, two new categories have been introduced: Best Indigenous Language – North Africa and Best Indigenous Language – Central Africa.
The 12th AMVCA will feature 32 award categories, comprising 18 jury-voting categories, 11 public-voting categories, and 3 special recognition awards, including Lifetime Achievement and Trailblazer honours.
