　　On 25 June 2012, PinchukArtCentre announced the 21 artists nominated for the Future Generation Art Prize.

　　The Selection Committee chosen by the Jurors of the Prize formed the long-list of 470 artists and then made the final selection meeting in Kiev at the PinchukArtCentre.

　　Suzanne Cotter, the FGAP Selection Committee chairwoman: "Working with a shortlist of over 450 artists, pared down from an initial 4000, the selection panel was deeply impressed by the number, quality and global reach of artists who applied or who were proposed for the Prize. The process of selecting the final 20 shortlisted artists was an intellectually rigorous and passionate one that took many hours of discussion and debate. We were delighted by what we learned through this process and by the carefully considered shortlist which emerged. The panel was unanimous in its enthusiasm for the Prize as a vital platform for bringing to the attention of a broader public the kinds of artists and art that will guide us into the future."

　　Björn Geldhof, Artistic Manager of the PinchukArtCentre: "The composed shortlist of 20 artists is a dynamic overview on new ideas which are developing within young art scene, offering from 16 different countries the most advanced artistic positions which represent a future generation of contemporary art."

　　The exhibition of 21 shortlisted artists will open at the PinchukArtCentre on 27 October 2012.

　　The respected international jury will choose and announce the winner of the main prize who will receive a generous prize at the Award Ceremony on 7 December 2012 in Kiev, Ukraine.

　　An additional sum from the Foundation will be allotted to fund artist-in-residency programs to the special prize winner. Images of works by all shortlisted artists will be posted on the website, and members of the public will be invited to vote via internet for the People's Choice Prize.
