The Future Generation Art Prize, now in its 5th year, is a biannual global contemporary art prize to discover, recognize and give long-term support to a future generation of artists.
The Prize is an innovative international award for artists up to 35 years of age of all backgrounds, working in any medium, investing in the artistic development and new production of works. Awarded through a competition, judged by a distinguished jury, the Prize is founded on the idea of generosity, a network of outstanding patron artists and institutional partners, and a highly democratic application procedure.
To encourage the artists from all over the world to apply, the Future Generation Art Prize accepts applications in 10 different languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Ukrainian.
A group of artists can apply as one participant; at the same time, any artist who belongs to a group can apply individually as a separate participant.
A distinguished international jury determines the main prize and special prizes winners at their meeting in Kyiv during the Future Generation Art Prize exhibition at the PinchukArtCentre.
There is no entry fee.
Eligibility
All artists worldwide between 18 and 35 years of age at the time of application may apply with their work without any restrictions concerning gender, nationality, race or artistic medium.
Prize
The Main Prize will be awarded by an international jury to one individual participant or collective of participants who will receive the amount of 100,000 USD. The Prize will be split into 60,000 USD in cash and 40,000 USD to invest in the production of new work.
An additional 20,000 USD will be allocated to fund artist-in-residency programs for the Special Prize winner.
Moreover, 20 shortlisted artists will be shown at the PinchukArtCentre in Kiev, Ukraine from February 2019 to April 2019. The exhibition will also go on show at the Venice Biennale in May 2019, presenting the work of all the shortlisted artists to a broad international public.
