Rio de Janeiro's annual carnival celebrates its 50th anniversary. The theme of this year's carnival is Afro-Brazilian women and their culture.
This year's theme is the theme of luck and chance, which was chosen by the jury. The jury chose the theme based on the story of a girl who fell in love with a man. The winner of the competition is the school from Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro, which founded the carnival in 1872. The school is the only one in the world to have won the title.
