For the tapes in contest exhibition of the 1st Videobrasil Festival, 36 videos in VHS and U-Matic gauges were shortlisted. The award categories – documentary, fiction, musical and free – were eliminated, due to the disparity of numbers among each of the categories. The award was divided into the two gauges, considering the markedly different languages and techniques employed in each of these gauges.
The 36 shortlisted videos represented the production of young directors, videomakers and filmmakers involved in the exploration of the new videographic poetics, and its potential dialogue with television. A large portion of them reveal experimental productions, frequently resorting to documental language, and addressing subjects such as politics, activism, and daily life.

By decision of the Preliminary Jury of the I Video Brazil Festival, there will be no division into Documentary/Fiction/Musical/Free categories, due to the discrepancy in number of submissions between each of them.
Separate awards have been created for U-Matic and VHS, considering the markedly different languages and techniques employed in each of these gauges.
Prizes will be awarded to 5 U-Matic tapes and 5 VHS tapes, plus 3 special prizes:
- The best tape in the I Video Brazil Festival, including both gauges, will receive:
Color Video Camera Sharp QC-70

- Sales - manufacturing company MAC, Industria Nacional de Fitas VT, will offer a special prize to the piece best suited for distribution by the Fotoptica store chain and stores specializing in prerecorded tapes.
