All members of the international jury will come to Kyiv, Ukraine, to select and announce the main and special prize winners at the Award Ceremony in December.

Each member of the jury will appoint a member of the Selection Committee, who will choose 20 shortlisted artists. The nominees for the third edition of the Future Generation Art Prize will be announced in June. They will receive an exhibition at the PinchukArtCentre in Kiev, Ukraine from October 25, 2014 till January 4, 2015

Traditionally supporting young artists from Ukraine, where the PinchukArtCentre is located, the winner of the national prize for young artists in 2013, Zhanna Kadyrova, will also be included into the shortlist of the Future Generation Art Prize 2014, bringing the maximum number of artists in the exhibition to 21.

Launched by the Victor Pinchuk Foundation in 2009, the Prize is open to all artists up to the age of 35 with the aim of acknowledging and giving long-term support to a future generation of artists from all over the world. The Prize is unique because of its global reach and highly democratic form of application via the Internet. 

From its launch the Future Generation Art Prize and its idea to develop a network of young artists worldwide has been supported by its Patron Artists including Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, Andreas Gursky and Takashi Murakami. Besides providing advice and support for the winning artist, Patron Artists also present a solo show in the PinchukArtCentre parallel to the exhibition of shortlisted artists for the Prize. In 2010 and 2012 there were solo shows by Takashi Murakami and Damien Hirst.
