The Oscow Award – the Oscar with a cow head – was designed and created by members of the Curitiba SVB group to represent the ironic tone against glamour, luxury and alienation, characteristically traits of the human high society, contrasting with the sad reality of animal exploitation.
Why a cow head? Besides the wordplay, the cow was chosen to symbolize the animals, that rarely receive the respect they deserve by man, and the intention of the Festival to change this reality for the better.

From the second edition in 2011 on, there hasn’t been the category competitive exhibit, however, the statuettes will be given as a homage to films according to the audience’s will. This way, the Oscow will represent the exaltation of the Mostra Animal soul, being cooperative rather than competitive.
