“We congratulate all the winners and nominees who have put in the incredible work. We’ll also like to say a big thank you to everyone in the African film industry. You have all made us proud,” she stated.

This year’s edition had 27 categories, with 16 non-voting and nine audience voting categories, and the winners were selected by a jury led by ace filmmaker and head judge, Femi Odugbemi.

Some of the visible works from the awards included ‘Breath of Life’ and ‘Jagun Jagun’, winning multiple awards.

Veteran actress Idowu Philips, a.k.a Iya Rainbow, and veteran actor Richard Mofe Damijo (RMD), were the recipients of this year’s Lifetime Achievement or Industry Merit Awards while Chimezie Imo was the recipient of this year’s Trailblazer Award.

The awards show has not only become a focal point in representing the myriad stories of Africa’s vast diversity — spanning over 3,000 tribes and a population exceeding one billion — but has also made a significant economic impact in its enabling country, Nigeria.

With an investment of N9 billion, it has created over 3,000 direct and indirect jobs, reaching an estimated total of 27,000 jobs throughout all its editions.

The tenth edition of the AMVCA was sponsored by headline sponsor, Amstel and tactical sponsors, Pepsi, Promasidor and Martell.
