CICLOPE Latino is the first Latin American award show fully dedicated to film craft in advertising and moving image. Unlike other events in the region, CICLOPE Latino focuses on the art of execution, rather than the ideas. We truly believe a good execution is as important as the idea, and extremely determinant for the consumer’s experience.

CICLOPE Latino honors work made by Latin American professionals and companies based in the region, in different categories such as Direction, Animation, Visual Effects, Music Videos and Editing, among others. Part of the jury panel is “non latin”, which guarantees transparency, zero politics and qualified exposure for participants.

In two rounds of judging, the Jury discusses the finalist pieces and decides on the one best work in each category. The panel can also award more than one Grand Prix for the best work of the year in the competition. CICLOPE Latino will take place on March 26th & 27th, 2024 in Brazil. Winners will be announced at the awards ceremony, that will be celebrated LIVE on Wednesday March 27th, 2024 at MIS – Museu da Imagem e do Som.
