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

participant's personal and non-commercial use only.

3. The Prize

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.

4. Board, Jury and selection procedure

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.

5. Timeline of the Prize

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.

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

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
