There are 5 categories in the competition including painting, sculpture, street art, new media and installations, which can be viewed online. A winner from each of the categories and an overall winner of the competition will be selected by a panel of international judges. Each of the category winners will receive £10,000 with the overall winner of the prize receiving a further £20,000.
All winners will be announced at the exhibition’s launch and a VIP private view in London on 23 November.
The competition, which is sponsored by the Firtash Foundation and the Saatchi Gallery received a huge amount of entries - over 10,000 entries by over 2,000 artists from across the whole of UK and Ukraine.
This unusual art competition has attracted a huge variety and volume of work from young hopefuls, and is a tremendous credit to the creative and cultural talent of young people from both countries.
