Mba-Uzoukwu explained that the AMVCAs have also been a significant contributor to the growth of other ancillary industries including the fashion and beauty industry, which receives a boost in patronage and publicity with each edition of the awards.

“We look forward to this addition to the awards event and we urge celebrities and guests to make a bold statement on the red carpet and enter for a chance to win the inaugural AMVCA Best Dressed statuette,” she added.

  • The award for the Best Dressed Male and Female at the 7th edition of the AMVCAs will be voted for on Instagram by fans and viewers across the continent. 
  • Attendees interested in this award are to be on the red carpet between 16:00 WAT and 17:00 WAT to have their pictures taken in a specially designed AMVCA photo booth.
  • The top 50 (25 for men and 25 for women) will be selected by a constituted AMVCA Style Council and shared on Africa Magic’s Instagram account @africamagic.
  • Fans will then be given the opportunity to vote by indicating their likes for their favourite picture between 18:00 WAT and 19:00 WAT.
