The 2026 Sovereign Asian Art Prize

Cast Your Votes: Public Vote Prize

30 artists have been shortlisted for The 2026 Sovereign Asian Art Prize. Now in its 22nd year, the initiative offers artists international recognition and generous financial prizes, while raising funds for the benefit of disadvantaged children through the sale of artworks by the finalists. 

Visit two free-access exhibitions first from 24 April to 3 May at H Queens, and next from 12 to 15 May at Phillips Asia. 

Aside from the winner of the Grand Prize and the recipient of the Vogue Hong Kong Women’s Art Prize who will be selected by the judging panel, there is also a Public Vote Prize, which the public can cast votes for at the physical exhibitions or here online. All the winners will be announced on the Sovereign Art Foundation’s digital channels on 19 May 2026. 

The shortlisted works are offered for sale by timed or live auction, with proceeds shared evenly between the artists and the charity programmes that the foundation runs. Bidding and direct sales will open on the foundation’s website on 23 April 2026, and is open to everyone. This will close on the night of charity Gala Dinner at Agate, M+ Museum, on 15 May 2026.  Interested parties can purchase Gala Dinner tickets and pre-register for bidding at art@sovereignartfoundation.com.
