All Brazilians working in the management, preservation, appreciation, and promotion of Cultural Heritage can apply for the Rodrigo Melo Franco de Andrade Award. Organized by the National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage (Iphan) since 1987, this is the largest national award in the field of cultural heritage and aims to recognize those working to preserve the country's cultural assets.
Globally recognized for its cultural diversity, Brazil blends the influences of various groups that contributed to the formation of its national identity. To reflect this, the open call, available on Iphan's website, introduces new award categories to encompass a wider range of initiatives already underway throughout the country.
Twelve initiatives in the field of Brazilian Cultural Heritage will be selected. Each winner will receive R$ 20,000. To apply, applicants must access the registration form, available on Iphan's website, by May 18. Submissions will be pre-selected by State Commissions, which are composed of representatives from each state's various cultural sectors and chaired by the regional superintendent.
The winning initiatives from the state stage will be evaluated by the National Evaluation Commission, composed of Iphan's leadership and 21 jurors working in the preservation or safeguarding of Cultural Heritage. The final results of the competition will be announced on Iphan's website by August 30, 2020.
