The PinchukArtCentre prizes have been awarded by a jury including Francesco Bonami (Italy), Udo Kittelmann (Germany), Jessica Morgan (UK) and Ukrainian artists Serhiy Bratkov and Boris Mikhailo. The main prize (100,000 UAH - $12,500) went to Artem Volokitin. Special prizes (25,000 UAH) went to Oleksi Salmanov and Masha Shubina. A people's choice prize of 10,000 UAH went to BLUEMOLOKO group [why do Russian art groups, if they choose to reference a colour, tend to call themselves blue-something?].
