LAST CHANCE TO ENTER FOR $100,000 FUTURE GENERATION ART PRIZE
•Exhibition announced at Venice Biennale
The closing date for entries for the fourth edition of the Future Generation Art Prize with a value of US$100,000 is extended until midnight on Friday 2 October 2016, to give all young artists the chance to participate.
Entries can be submitted online at www.futuregenerationartprize.org
An exhibition of the work of the shortlisted artists will go on show in Kiev from February to April 2017 and will be presented internationally as an official collateral event at the Venice Biennale, opening on Wednesday 10 May 2017.
All artists up to the age of 35 of all backgrounds, working in any medium, anywhere in the world are encouraged to apply. Supporting the application process, more than 600 correspondents all over the world will be nominating artists for the prize and over 50 Partner Platforms worldwide will be ambassadors for the Future Generation Art Prize to encourage artists within their regions to apply.
The main prize will be awarded by an international jury in the amount of US$ 100,000, split between $60,000 in cash and $40,000 investment in the production of a new work. In addition US$ 20,000 will be awarded to up to five Special Prize winners, nominated by the Jury. A Public Choice winner will be selected through online voting and announced at the Award Ceremony.
The pioneering Future Generation Art Prize established by the Victor Pinchuk Foundation in 2009 is a worldwide contemporary art prize created to discover, recognise and give long-term support to a future generation of artists. Judged by a distinguished jury, The Prize aims to make a major contribution to the careers of younger artists involved in the dynamic cultural development of societies in transition, many of whom have found it difficult to get their voices heard. The competition is open to all artists up to the age of 35 of all backgrounds, working in any medium, anywhere in the world.
