New Sensations was launched six years ago by the Saatchi Gallery and Channel 4 to support the most imaginative and talented young artists in the UK and to present their work to an international audience during Frieze Week.
The Prize is now established in the UK as the most important annual prize for emerging artists and it attracts entries each year from the best graduates studying at UK and Republic of Ireland art schools.

Highly competitive, the final selection is comprised of 20 graduates from BA and MA courses at UK and the Republic of Ireland colleges and universities. The artists have been chosen by a judging panel made up of Adam Broomberg & Oliver Chanarin; Nick Hackworth, founder of Paradise Row, London; Ossian Ward, formerly visual arts editor of Time Out and now at the Lisson Gallery, London; Tabitha Jackson, Commissioning Editor, Arts, Channel 4; and Rebecca Wilson, Chief Curator, Saatchi Online and Director, Saatchi Gallery. Four finalists have been specially selected to make a new commission for the exhibition. Along Jack Stanton, they are Michal Bar-Or (Royal College of Art, London), Glenn Kennedy (Glasgow School of Art) and Rosie O’Grady (Glasgow School of Art)  Each of the four finalists will work with Channel 4 film to make a short film about their work which will be aired in October.
