He said, “From its very beginnings, the AMVCA has been a celebration of Africa, a celebration of our cultures, our heritage, our stories, our stars and the excellence of their talent. The work of our jury will be difficult as many of the shortlisted entries show technical excellence, great storytelling and enthralling performances.

As usual there are categories of nominees as well where we invite you to vote for your favourite shows. Please support your choices with your vote.” The nominees for this year will be revealed by 7pm on April 9, 2023 across all Africa Magic channels. Once this is done, the voting portal will open ahead of the highly awaited award ceremony.
