Each project will receive financial support in the amount of R$30.000,00.

Both the completed artworks and the projects are to be exhibited in the next edition of the Festival. Works and projects will be accepted in all supports, styles, and techniques, and can be submitted by artists born in the regions that are the focus of the Festival, or residing there for five years or more. Each artist can submit up to three completed works and one project, according to the guidelines established in the open invitation available in the web page. Along with the artworks and projects ultimately selected through this call, the 19th Festival will also feature works by invited artists, a selection focused on the triangulation between Africa, the Caribbean, and South America.

Africa, the Middle East, Eastern and Southern Europe, Southeast Asia, and Oceania.
