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 30 January 2015 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 Cape Town 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.”
