After a year’s hiatus the much anticipated Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards, is back with an interesting lineup.
Asides from the usual red carpet and awards show, this year’s AMVCAs which is the 8th edition, billed to hold on May 14th, will feature the AMVCA Runway Show, a special event to showcase exceptional fashion talent on the continent.
Briefing the press recently in Lagos, Head of Content Africa Magic, Dr. Busola Tejumola, disclosed that the eighth edition will run from Saturday, May 7, 2022, to Saturday, May 14, 2022, in Lagos.
It will commence with an Opening Night on Saturday, 7 May, followed by the first-ever AMVCA runway show in partnership with Bella Naija Style on Sunday, 8 May, tagged ‘Design for the Stars’, and will feature a competition for budding fashion designers.
Speaking on the inclusion of a fashion show Dr. Tejumola, said “From costumes to red carpets, the role that fashion plays in film cannot be overestimated. Our continent is blessed with some of the most talented fashion designers and creatives you will find anywhere in the world. This is why, in line with our commitment to continually support local talents, we are beaming the spotlight on this very important element of the film for this edition of the awards.”
