Please note: The Artevista organization has opted to DIGITALLY receive and evaluate the artworks on paper due to the difficulties imposed by the Brazilian Post Office, which is charging fees on artworks coming from abroad that were previously only charged to materials with commercial interests. Nevertheless, we ask authors to please KEEP the original artwork on paper for future use and reference.
Selection
We will select up to 10 (ten) artworks from each one of the age groups and origin (from Brazil / other countries).
A Judging Committee, formed by people invited by the non-profit organization Olhar Animal and by MICA – Movimento Infanto-juvenil Crescendo com Arte, will choose the finalists.
Evaluation Criteria
The drawings and painting will be evaluated according to the following criteria:
- adequacy to the proposed theme: “Hunting is not cool”;
- originality;
- esthetic;
- any entry which does not meet the specifications set out in the Entry Rules will be disqualified.
It is important to note that the artworks will be categorized by origin (from Brazil / from other countries) and age groups, as previously indicated.

The Entry Rules may be altered without previous notice by any unpredicted reason that may or may not be controlled by Olhar Animal and that compromises the activity in a way that will prevent or substantially modify the conduction of this contest as originally conceived.
