AMVA 2027

Rules & FAQ

This page covers eligibility, rights, fees and timing. The full regulations will be available before the call opens.

Submission principles

What applies to every submission

These are the conditions that define whether a work can enter the AMVA selection.

Human authorship

Generative AI, whether partial or full, is not permitted in submitted works or in the artistic and promotional material connected to them.

Rights

The submitting party must hold the authority needed to submit the work and grant AMVA the limited rights required for selection, screening and festival communication.

Screening

A secure screening link is enough for the first stage. Exhibition files are requested only from selected works.

Eligibility and fees

Before you submit

Each category entry is evaluated separately. A work may be entered in more than one category.

Entries must be original music videos submitted by the rights holder or an authorised representative. The work must be entered in the appropriate category or categories and supplied with complete credits.

Early Bird entries are €20 per category from 1 October to 31 December 2026. Standard entries are €30 per category from 1 January to 15 April 2027.

If Nèira Cultural Association cancels the 2027 edition before evaluation for organisational or financial reasons attributable to the organisation, participants receive a full refund within 60 days, unless they choose to transfer the submission to the next edition.

If the festival is postponed, submissions remain valid for the new dates. Participants may request a full refund within 30 days of the postponement notice.
