Established in 2004, The Sovereign Asian Art Prize is Asia’s largest contemporary art prize in which artists from over 25 countries within the Asia Pacific Region enter on an annual basis.

The prize is run on a nomination basis, so artists who enter have been selected by art professionals from within their country or region. This ensures that the right artists are represented in this prize, making it one of the most competitive art prizes in the Asia Pacific.

The nominated entries are then judged by a panel of world renowned art professionals who shortlist 30 artworks which become the finalists of the prize. These finalists are exhibited throughout the region and are eventually sold at auction (with the exception of the prize winner), where the proceeds are divided equally between the artist and the charity. All funds raised by The Sovereign Art Foundation will be used towards supporting various centres and projects around the region primarily using art as a means of education, rehabilitation and therapy for disadvantaged children.

Submitted works should be 2D such as paintings, drawings, photographs, digital imagery, collage.
