1. PREMISES

1.1. The “Clarival do Prado Valladares” award is a Odebrecht Group initiative aimed at using financial sponsorship to encourage original historical research and publications that will make a real contribution to Brazilian historiography by broadening our knowledge and understanding of Brazil’s economic history, socio-political development and artistic expressions while enriching its bibliography on the events, processes and people whose memory must be disseminated and preserved.

2. GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

2.1. Any research project that meets the above requirements can compete for the “Clarival do Prado Valladares” Award, on the understanding that this is an original study whose focus is in no way similar to previously published works.

2.5. Copyright for the published works will be owned exclusively by the Odebrecht Group, which will transfer royalties to the Sociedade Amigos de Clarival do Prado Valladares.
