Vanessa ObiohaThe Nigerian Official Selection Committee (NOSC) has opened submissions for Nigeria’s official entry to the 99th Academy Awards in the International Feature Film category. The NOSC is the Academy-recognised body responsible for selecting and submitting Nigeria’s official entry in the International Feature Film category. Each year, it reviews eligible submissions and selects a single film to represent the country at the Oscars. Nigeria has been participating in the International Feature Film race since 2019. Its most recent submission was the Hausa-language epic ‘Mai Martaba,’ which represented the country at the 97th Academy Awards but did not secure a nomination.
