Application notesApply free in Portuguese through Mapa da Cultura at least 30 days before the event. Register with ID Cultura, publish the applicant profile, complete the application/work plan, attach documents and send the registration. Required: ID (RG, CNH or passport); CV and dated proof of at least one year of audiovisual activity; signed event invitation/admission on organizer letterhead naming the applicant, purpose, dates and places, with Portuguese translation identifying the translator (name and ID/CPF; sworn translation not required); Brazilian address proof or Annex VIII declaration, subject to permitted exemptions; Annex II racial self-declaration or Annex III disability declaration and medical report when claiming reserved support. The edital contains inconsistent six-month wording for address documents, so the declaration is an expressly permitted alternative. The portal returned 403 and annex downloads were unreadable. Guidance is the official edital PDF linked on the source page. Questions: concurso.sav@cultura.gov.br, citing MinC 01/2026 and the registration number.
