Established in 2017, the Sovereign Art Foundation Students Prize Malta and Gozo gives the opportunity for young artists in the community to be rewarded and further cultivate the artistic endeavour. With a strong belief that art and creativity are of immense value, the Foundation has accepted art pieces from multiple schools along providing a forum to promote the creative spark in educational institutions. For its second year, the Foundation is participating in the Global Student Prize, through which winners of the Judges Prize and Public Vote compete with other winners from other prizes globally – including Hong Kong, Singapore, Bahrain, etc. Voting is open until 26th February 2021.

Winners of last year and runner up were both short listed and consist of the best 20 finalists. 2021 will see the launch of the 4th Sovereign Art Foundation Students Prize in Malta and Gozo, with invitations open for all local secondary schools and colleges. This can be done by nominating and submitting ten of the best artworks produced by students. Entrants must be enrolled at either secondary or post-secondary institutions, and be 17 or under at time of entry. Acceptance period is 14th December 2020 to 22nd January 2021. The international judging panel will consist of Howard Bilton, Chairman of the Sovereign Group, Stephen Griffiths, Managing Director of Sovereign Trust (Malta) Limited, and an exclusive selection of local and international artists shortlisted from 20 Finalists.
