“The Africa Movie Academy Awards will be taking the magic to Ghana this July. Let’s celebrate the stars in grand style.”

The organisers noted that the Ghana movie industry strives for excellence, hence the need for the award.

NAN reports that Peace Anyiam-Osigwe, the founder of AMAA has reiterated that the organisers are not in competition with any award organisation.

Anyiam-Osigwe said that AMAA has consistently rewarded excellence across Africa filmmaking industry for the last 15 years.

The Chief Executive Officer of AMAA said the academy had trained over 10,000 movie practitioners across Africa continent.

According to Anyiam-Osigwe, the academy engages movie practitioners by creating opportunities in the movie industries across Africa.

The academy has changed the face of the industry, especially in quality control since its inception 15 years ago.
