On Monday, [23], Brazil’s Ministry of Culture (Minc), through the Secretariat for Citizenship and Cultural Diversity (SCDC), announced in the Official Gazette of the Union (DOU) a call for 134 substitute candidates for the Sergio Mamberti Cultural Alive Edital. This call aims to fill vacancies left by selected individuals who were disqualified, in default with the Union, or deceased. These candidates have 15 days, until March 9th, to submit the following additional documentation: A copy of the candidate’s identification document and CPF (Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas, a Brazilian taxpayer ID) or, if applicable, the representative of the cultural group/collective or legal guardian in the case of a private non-profit institution. A joint declaration (Annex 10), completed and signed by the party responsible for the candidacy. Signatures can be electronic, handwritten, or a digital fingerprint.

Election minutes or current possession term, exclusively for candidacies in the Private Non-Profit Institution category.

The Ministry of Culture recommends that applicants submit documents preferably to edital.sergiomamberticultura.gov.br. Documents may also be sent by postal mail to the Secretariat of Citizenship and Cultural Diversity in Brasilia (DF). The Minc emphasizes that legal, fiscal, and tax compliance are essential, as outstanding debts to the Union will prevent the disbursement of funds. Applicants should resolve any pending matters in these systems: Informatory Registry of Unpaid Sector Public Federal Credits (Cadin) Negative Certificate of Debts Relating to Federal Tax Credits and Union Active Debt (CND) Regularity Certificate of FGTS (Fundo de Garantia do Tempo de Serviço, a Brazilian severance indemnity fund) Transfer Record (Constransf) Support System for Culture Incentive Laws (SALIC) Registry of Private Non-Profit Entities Prohibited (CEPIM) National Registry of Unworthy and Suspended Companies (CEIS) Unified Supplier Registration System (SICAF) The Ministry also noted that the payment of the award is subject to the availability of budgetary and financial resources.

The 2023 Sergio Mamberti Award represents the largest direct investment yet in the National Policy for Living Culture (PNCV), totaling R 33 million to recognize and reward 1,117 cultural initiatives across all states and the Federal District. Each selected initiative will receive R 30,000 (gross). The Sergio Mamberti Edital features four distinct awards: Mestre Lucindo Award, which values and recognizes traditional and popular cultures. Vovo Bernaldina Award, which ensures rights and promotes Indigenous cultures, rich in traditions, ancestral knowledge, and essential artistic expressions for national diversity. Diversity Cultural Award, which promotes inclusion by recognizing cultural expressions of vulnerable groups, such as the elderly, people with disabilities, the LGBTQIA community, and people suffering from or having mental health issues. Pontos de Viva Award, which encourages cultural activities carried out by cultural points, groups, collectives, and non-profit private institutions wishing to be recognized with the Cultura Viva Seal.
