Winners

Dana Kavelina won the main award of the 7th edition of the PinchukArtCentre Prize, a nationwide award for Ukrainian artists aged 35 or younger. For her 3D animation It can't be that there's nothing that can't be returned, she was awarded UAH 370,000 (about $10,000) and automatically shortlisted for Future Generation Art Prize 2023, a worldwide contemporary art prize.

Nikolay Karabinovych, Anton Saenko, and Kateryna Lysovenko received special mentions of the jury. In addition to UAH 60,000 (approximately $1,650), the PinchukArtCentre will offer each winner special assistance in their artistic development through the production of an artwork or an art residence. The public choice award of UAH 37,000 (approximately $1,000) went to Mykhailo Alekseenko for his work Fragments. The winner of this category was chosen by visitors to the PinchukArtCentre.

The winners were selected by a distinguished international jury consisting of Yevgenia Belorusets, a Ukrainian artist, writer, and photographer; Martha Kirszenbaum, the Curator of the French Pavilion of the 58th Venice Biennale; Bart De Baere, Director of M KHA; and Björn Geldhof, Artistic Director of the PinchukArtCentre.
