Organizers of the Cameroon Movie Merit Awards CMMA have promised people who are envious, proud, tribalistic and full of hate, that they will not have the chance to be part of the jury of the 2014 edition of the recognition event. Members of the said jury which will have five to seven people drawn from the various areas of the seventh art, according to a release sent to our newsroom, will be obliged to take an oath of confidentiality. They will also vow to vomit any practice that can work in favour of some over other contestants, the note stipulates further.

Outlining the rules of CMMA III, the organizers insisted that only submitted movies, not trailers, will be scrutinized, nominated and awarded. Submission which is supposed to have begun will end on August 31, 2014.

This year, 15 trophies are out for grabs in some of the most contested movie awards categories including, best actor in lead role, best actress in lead role, best actor in supporting role, best actress in supporting role, best child actor and best movie in the diaspora.

CMMA III is billed for Saturday December 20, 2014 at the sumptuous Chariot Hotel in Buea, headquarters of the South West region of Cameroon.

With young and visionary Cameroonians such as entertainment promoter and UN staff, Fred Keyanti and USA-based Cameroonian actress, Mairo Sanda behind this great initiative, the Cameroon Movies Merit Awards, CMMA is an annual recognition platform, organized by the Cam Movies. It rewards creativity, exceptionality, hard work and excellence in filmmaking. It kicked off in 2012 and has since then been acclaimed as one of the frontline recognition events in the country.

Here is the full copy of the CMMA release…
