Anaconda in Guatemala will recognize and provide incentives to organizations, institutions, collectives, production companies, and individuals creating audiovisual works—such as films or videos—that showcase diverse cultural and social facets, rights, and values, while reflecting the history and reality of Indigenous Nations and Peoples and Afro-descendant communities across the Amazon basin, the Chaco, and the tropical forests of Latin America and the Caribbean.
The Anaconda Grand Prize, the Special Category Award (covering Indigenous, Women’s, and Mother Earth rights), and associated honorable mentions will be awarded by local juries—comprising members of various Indigenous Peoples and Afro-descendant communities—to the best audiovisual productions submitted to the event that align with community interests. Other awards and honorable mentions in the competition categories will be presented by an international jury composed of Indigenous, non-Indigenous, and Afro-descendant figures.
The awards and recognitions will consist of trophies featuring Indigenous artwork, certificates, and potential development incentives.
