Videobrasil
welcomes works of electronic art produced since June 2003 by
Portuguese-speaking artists and all those of origin in the countries
of the so-called "southern circuit": Latin America,
Caribbean, Africa, South-East Asia, Eastern Europe, Middle East
and Oceania.
Each participant may submit only 1 (one) piece of work
to the selection. Art work in video cannot exceed 30 (thirty)
minutes in duration. Institutional, promotional and advertising
contents will not be accepted. Enrolment is free of charge.
For enrolment, work in video must be submitted only as VHS or
DV (NTSC and/or PAL) tapes, which will not be returned. If selected,
fresh tapes for screening will be requested, in the following
formats: video (Beta SP, Mini-DV; PAL / NTSC) and DVD. In the
case of multimedia work, the participant must specify the platform
and the necessary configuration for viewing. In the case of
Internet projects, it is indispensable to provide a detailed
technical specification. |

The
deadline for submissions is April 15, 2005. Work for
submission will only be accepted if posted on or before the
stated deadline. The organisation of the Festival does not take
responsibility for eventual damage incurred in transportation.

The
submitted work will be selected according to the following
exhibition categories:
• Contemporary investigations: submissions
that stand out for the inventivity and innovation involved
in their research process (language, subject and approach).
• New vectors: submissions by creators
or art collectives emerging in the many regions of the southern
circuit.
•
Southern panoramas: submissions that widen the scope
of the state of the art in southern production.

A specialised jury
will award 1 (one) work of each one of the exhibition categories.
The selection of runners-up (special mentions) is at the discretion
of the jury. The jury is sovereign in its decisions. Decisions
of the jury are final and irrevocable. |

selected authors will be asked to transfer to Associação
Cultural Videobrasil the rights of broadcast, of diffusion,
archive rights, right of use of excerpts by the Press, for
promotional ends, and right of use in digital media services
(such as the Internet, CD-ROM, DVD etc.) incidents on their

broadcast of selected work can only take place in connection
