Monday, January 28, 2013 was the D-date, the event was the unveiling of the nominees and categories for the maiden edition of the AfricaMagic Viewers Choice Awards 2013. Venue of the event was the Porsche Center, which seems to be the venue of choice for some A-class events nowadays. The AMVCA 2013, is a collaboration between AfricaMagic and Multichoice Africa, the idea is to encourage the best in the movie industry all over Africa, by acknowledging and encouraging their hardwork in their various fields. Actors/Actresses, Producers, Directors, Make-up Artists and others involved in the movie industry are being duly recognised, so kudos to the organizers.
On Monday night, the nominees were unveiled and even the trophy that would be won by the winners in the various categories. In all, there would be 28 awards in 26 categories. Viewers would have the opportunity to chose their winners in 6 categories, while 18 other categories would have experts in the industry choosing the winners. Awards would also be given in 2 other categories namely-Trailblazer of the Year & the Industry Merit Awards, the latter which would be given to a worthy veteran of the movie industry. Nominees in 2 categories- Best Documentary & Best online Video, were not named on the night and the reason given was because the nominee selection team prefers to award certificates of encouragement to all the entrants in the 2 categories.
The night of the unveiling was fun-filled as many of the industry's practitioners from around Africa were in attendance. As with all things organized by AfricaMagic, it was a classy affair, it was an opportunity for many to network amidst a very convivial atmosphere.
