Organizer and scope
The ARiYA Challenge is organized by ARiYA Studio, the creative division of ARiYA Corp. This edition is free and open exclusively to women residing in Brazil.
Participation and eligibility
Participation is free, requires no purchase and is based exclusively on artistic merit in dance and performance. Vocals and rap are not judging criteria. Information must be complete and truthful, and the submitted video must remain accessible during selection.
Challenge stages
Stage 1 is a 1–3 minute dance or performance cover using a song freely chosen by the participant. In the final stage, confirmed finalists choose from an authorized selection of the ARiYA Girls catalog and create an original performance. The catalog is used as technical and artistic material to assess compatibility with the project.
Participants under 18
Minors may enter and be evaluated in Stage 1 without immediate guardian authorization. If pre-selected, confirmation and public announcement as a finalist depend on express authorization and identification from a parent or legal guardian within the stated deadline. Until validation, no public finalist content will be published. Missing or refused authorization results in disqualification and another eligible participant may be called.
Submitted content
The participant must own or hold all permissions needed for the submitted video, performance and music use. Illegal, discriminatory, abusive or third-party-rights-infringing material may be removed and disqualified.
Artistic evaluation
Dance technique, musicality, creativity, body expression, stage presence, artistic identity and alignment with each stage will be evaluated. Vocals, popularity, followers, views, likes and shares do not affect the result. The appointed panel makes the final artistic decision; there is no drawing or element of chance.
Prizes
The total prize is R$2,500: R$1,200 for first place, R$800 for second place and R$500 for third place. Payment depends on identity, residence, eligibility and, for minors, guardian authorization. Dates and payment instructions will be announced through official channels.
Possible ARiYA Girls opportunity
Winners may be invited to a separate evaluation for possible integration into the official ARiYA Girls music project. This is not part of the cash prize, is not guaranteed and, if offered, will require a separate agreement.
Name, image, voice and video
Adult participants authorize, if selected, the non-exclusive and royalty-free use of their name, stage name, image, voice and performance excerpts solely for Challenge coverage, finalist and winner announcements, recaps and publication on ARiYA's official channels. For minors, this authorization is not effective until separately approved by the legal guardian; no pre-selected minor is publicly announced before validation.
Personal data and privacy
Entry data is used to administer, judge and communicate about the Challenge, verify eligibility, maintain necessary records and publish finalist or winner materials under the authorization above. Submissions are processed through Google Forms. The ARiYA Studio Privacy Policy applies.
Disqualification
An entry may be disqualified for false information, fraud, inaccessible content, rights violations, abusive conduct, attempted manipulation, failure to meet eligibility requirements or failure to provide required guardian authorization.
Schedule and changes
The official schedule and operational details will be published through ARiYA Studio's official channels. Necessary changes for security, fairness, legal compliance or force majeure will be communicated transparently to participants.
Acceptance
Submitting the form confirms that the participant has read and accepts these rules and the Privacy Policy. Questions may be sent through the official ARiYA Studio contact page.
