Background – Sovereign Art Foundation (SAF):
成立於2003年，SAF是一個致力於籌集資金來支援弱勢兒童參與表達藝術計劃的慈善機構。與SAF的全年籌款活動相結合，本獎項現已被公認為地區內最令人想望的年度獎項之一，大獎獎金高達30,000美元。本獎項培育來自亞太地區的人才，作為藝術家的跳板，幫助他們繼續突破價格紀錄，並獲得接觸更廣泛受眾的寶貴機會。傑出藝術大獎（Grand Prize）得主與獎金1,000美元的公眾大獎（Public Vote Prize）（由公眾於網上和展覽投票決定）和獎金達5,000美元的「Vogue Hong Kong女性藝術獎」（授予得分最高的決賽入圍女藝術家）的獲獎者將於2022年5月揭曉。
Launched in 2003, SAF is a charitable organisation that raises funds for programmes that support disadvantaged children through expressive arts. In tandem with SAF’s year-round fundraising initiatives, The Prize is recognised as one of the most coveted annual awards in the region with a Grand Prize of US$30,000. Nurturing talent from across Asia-Pacific, The Prize has acted as a springboard to help artists go on to achieve record prices as well as gain invaluable exposure to wider audiences. The winner of the Grand Prize, along with the winners of the Public Vote Prize of US$1,000 (determined through public votes online and at exhibition) and the Vogue Hong Kong Women’s Art Prize of US$5,000 (awarded to the highest scoring female finalist), will be announced in May 2022.
