These specifications allow the artistic jury to evaluate all the works and ensure the quality of the online exhibition. Thank you for your understanding! If you have any questions or special requests, please contact us at contato@arrght.com.
1) Try to use public domain music in the soundtrack of your videos. PLEASE don't try to put, I don't know, the Beatles in the soundtrack of your short film.
2) We are AI-phobic , even though we embrace the innovative spirit that drives some artists to use Artificial Intelligence. Consider that works created or improved with AI may be penalised in the evaluation process. We value art made for humans, by humans!
3) Avoid works with explicit nudity . In these cases, the curator reserves the right to censor the images.
4) Artists from every corner of the world are welcomed. We recommend you to offer a Brazilian Portuguese translation for your tiles, descriptions and subtitles, since the majority of the audience is Brazilian and only speaks Portuguese.
