NEW SENSATIONS 2009
Channel 4 and the Saatchi Gallery are delighted to announce this year's 4 New Sensations competition for all UK art students graduating from BA and MA courses at UK colleges and universities in 2009. UK graduates are invited to enter the competition with work from their 2009 degree shows via Saatchi Online. The deadline for entries is Friday 3 July at 6pm.

4 New Sensations was launched in 2007 by Channel 4 and The Saatchi Gallery to find the most imaginative and talented artists graduating in the UK and to support students leaving art college. In 2007 and 2008 shortlisted students have sold their work and been offered exhibitions as a result of the competition.

This year's judges are: artist Gavin Turk; Ralph Rugoff, director of the Hayward Gallery, London; critic Louisa Buck; and Alison Jacques who runs a contemporary art gallery in London.

An exhibition of the 20 shortlisted graduates chosen by the judges will take place in London during Frieze Week in October 2009. The four finalists of the competition will be given a bursary to make a new work to present at the exhibition, and each of these 'New Sensations' will have a 3 Minute Wonder Channel 4 film made about them which will also be aired in October. The ultimate winner of the competition will be awarded prize money to support his or her future artistic endeavours.

Graduates entering the competition are invited to submit images from their degree shows and a brief pitch for a new work they would like to make if chosen as one of the four finalists. The competition is open to all mediums. Students must be graduating from a BA or MA course in the UK in 2009 and not yet be represented by a gallery.
