Awards & Prizes

AWARDS
Only those who fulfill all the requirements of these Rules and Regulations, as well as deliver the documents and information requested by the ENTRETODOS organization within the deadlines, will be entitled to awards, in addition to there being no legal and/or tax impediments under their responsibility.
The Festival has the following programmes that will be formed according to the curatorship:
- FILMS FOR KIDS' SHOWCASE: The Films for Kids' Showcase has children as its target audience and the movies are free for all ages. The Special Jury of this showcase (to be announced) will choose a film as the winner, which will be awarded a cash prize of R$ 2,500.00 (Two thousand five hundred reais – Brazilian currency) - in addition to a trophy and certificate. The jury is allowed to choose up to two films, in which case the cash prize will be split equally and each winner will receive a trophy.
- YOUTH SHOWCASE: The Youth Showcase is aimed at teenagers and the parental rating of the movies fluctuates around 14 (fourteen) years old. The Special Jury of this showcase (to be announced) will choose a film as the winner, which will be awarded a cash prize of R$ 2,500.00 (Two thousand five hundred reais – Brazilian currency) - in addition to a trophy and certificate. The jury is allowed to choose up to two films, in which case the cash prize will be split equally and each winner will receive a trophy.
- MAIN COMPETITION SHOWCASE: The Main Competition Showcase has up to 6 (six) categories and the parental ratings are varied, but always indicated for each film. There are two types of awards for the Main Competition Showcase, and all short films selected for one of these categories compete in two modalities: (I) The Official Jury (to be announced) will choose a film in each one of the 6 (six) thematic categories, each receiving a cash prize of R$ 2,500.00 (Two thousand five hundred reais – Brazilian currency); and (II) 1 (one) short film chosen amongst all categories by the Popular Jury, through voting at the Festival's screenings and website, that will receive a cash prize of R$ 5,000.00 (Five thousand reais – Brazilian currency). The films can be awarded by both Juries - Official and Popular - simultaneously and will receive, in addition to the aforementioned values, trophies and corresponding certificates. The Official Jury is allowed to choose up to two films in the same category, in which case the cash prize will be split equally and each winner will receive a trophy.

The selected films for this edition of Entretodos will be made available for the entire duration of the festival on the website www.entretodos.com.br and/or in the Entretodos Streaming Platform (https://acervo.entretodos.com.br/), or even in another specialized streaming platform that will host the festival.
Other types of showcases or awards may be added to the aforementioned and communicated to the selected films’ representatives for their knowledge and agreement.
Due to the atypical situations the value of the cash prizes, the dates of the festival, as well as the required counterparts and types of screenings may undergo unilateral changes resulting from government actions and/or from partner institutions - supporters and sponsors - in which case, will be properly announced to the participants.
The value of the prizes will be deducted from taxes, according to the Brazilian legislation in force and will be paid upon presentation of an invoice from a company linked to the filmmakers or another legally equivalent document held by the filmmakers.
If the audiovisual production is the responsibility of a group of people, the prize will be unique, and it will be up to this same group to decide on its ownership or the division of the prize.
If foreign participants do not reside in the country or are not present at the time of the award ceremony, they must appoint a representative residing in Brazil, upon presentation of a letter of attorney that, if written in a foreign language, must be accompanied by a translation to Portuguese, so that said representative may receive the payment of a cash prize in case of an eventual award.

    My film was selected in this festival and won an award. Of course, I did not receive any award. Due to the poor communication and planning of this festival, they never sent me a personal email and even I sent them several emails but they didn't reply to any of them. I have never seen such a festival that is so indifferent to all issues
