The Saatchi Gallery has launched a new £75,000 art prize for artists aged 18-35 in the UK and the Ukraine. The competition, UK/raine, has been launched in partnership with the Ukraine-based Firtash Foundation and aims to “find and support the most imaginative and talented young artists, including students on BA and MA courses who are living and working in the UK or Ukraine or born in either country,” says the Saatchi Gallery. Entries can be submitted in five categories: installation, new media (including video and photography), painting, sculpture and street art.
A shortlist of 30 artists (six from each category) selected by a panel including curator Johnson Chang and Saatchi Gallery CEO Nigel Hurst will be able to show their work in a month-long exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery, with the overall winner announced on 23 November. Each of the category winners will receive £10,000 with the overall winner of the prize receiving a further £20,000. The winner of the public vote will receive £5,000 of production costs towards their work, project or exhibition.
