All artists up to 35 may apply with their work without any restrictions concerning gender, nationality, race or artistic medium.

The artists apply through an open call via the Internet.

Additionally, 300 correspondent art experts from all over the world will nominate a minimum of two and a maximum of five candidates. The experts are curators, artists, critics and tutors at art colleges and academies. All artists apart from former Prize winners are eligible to apply multiple times, as long as they continue to fulfill the entry conditions.

A selection committee will review the applications and select up to twenty artists for the exhibition. The selection committee has the right to exclude applications which do not comply with the rules. The selection committee consists of experts on contemporary art. The members of the selection committee are put forward by the Jury. Each Jury member suggests one Committee member.

The participant’s access to and use of futuregenerationartprize.org (the “Website”) and any Services referred to in Clause 2, is subject exclusively to these Terms and Conditions. The participant will not use the Website/Services for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms and Conditions. By using the Website/Services the participant is deemed to have fully accepted the terms, conditions and disclaimers contained in this notice. If the participant does not accept these Terms and Conditions they must immediately stop using the Website/Services.

The Website provides for the possibility to participate in the Future Generation Art Prize (the “Prize”) through the submission of an Application Form and the Website may, from time to time, provide some communication tools such as image galleries, administration areas, email, news groups, forums and/or other message or communication facilities (the “Services”) designed to enable the participant to participate in the Prize and communicate with others. Unless stated otherwise the Services are for the participant’s personal and non-commercial use only.

The Prize is a worldwide contemporary art prize to discover, recognize and give long-term support to a future generation of artists. The Prize is an important contribution to the open participation of younger artists in the dynamic cultural development of societies in global transition. The Prize will emphasize the strong commitment of leading international artists for the next generation of artists and the future of art. The main Prize will be awarded by an international jury to one individual participant or collective of participants who will receive the amount of US$ 100,000. The Prize will be split into US$ 60,000 in cash and US$ 40,000 to invest in the production of new work. The method and details of payment will be agreed with the winner in a separate agreement. An additional $20,000 will be allocated to fund artist- in-residency programs for the Special Prize winner.

The Board is chaired by Victor Pinchuk. Board members are appointed and remain members for minimum one period of the life of the Prize. Board members can change and new members can be appointed at any time following suggestions from Board members. The jury consists of artists and internationally respected professionals on contemporary art. It will select the winner on the basis of the work submitted and award the additional Special Prizes. The members of the jury change every two years. The International Expert Committee will consist out of a number of art professionals around the world who will make an initial preparation and selection of all applications for the Selection Committee.

The Selection Committee consists of 7 experts on contemporary art chosen by the jury who review the applications and select up to twenty participants for the exhibition of shortlisted entries (the “Prize Exhibition”). The Victor Pinchuk Foundation, PinchukArtCentre, their respective affiliates and the companies associated with them (the “Organizers”) reserve their right to update or amend the selection procedure at any time and the participant’s continued use of the Website/Services following any changes shall be deemed to be their acceptance of such change. The Organizers shall make reasonable efforts to ensure such update or amendment is identified on the Website.

Any decision of the jury and/or Selection Committee and/or the International Expert Committee in relation to any matter arising under these terms and conditions is final. Reasons will not be given for any such decision and the jury and/or Selection Committee will not enter into any correspondence regarding the merits of any submissions or decision.

Participants may submit applications via the Website within period of time specified on the Website (the “Application Session”). All applications received outside this period will not be considered. Following the close of applications, the International Expert Committee will prepare and select the applications for the Selection Committee (comprised of 7 members chosen by the jury) who will review these applications and decide on a shortlist of twenty artists, whose names will be announced in June of the same year. These artists will participate in the Prize Exhibition by showing the existing artworks they highlighted in their applications and may, if agreed with the Organizers, also create new works specifically for the Prize Exhibition. The winner of the national PinchukArtCentre Prize will also participate, bringing the maximum number of artists in the Prize Exhibition to 21. The Organizers reserve the right to alter this timetable, having regard to the diary availability of its members. The Announcements of the short listed artists and the winner of the Prize will be made on the Website.
