The Sovereign Art Foundation Students Prizes

The Sovereign Art Foundation Students Prizes A judging panel of local art professionals then shortlist the 20 best artworks to be exhibited in a public space.

The Sovereign Art Foundation (SAF) Students Prizes are annual awards that celebrate the importance of art in the education system and recognise the quality of artworks produced by secondary-school students across the world. Annually, we invite secondary schools throughout Bahrain, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Hong Kong, Isle of Man, London, Malta and Gozo, Mauritius, Portugal and Singapore to select artwo

rks produced by students in their school to enter The Prize. The judges visit the exhibition to select one artwork to be awarded the Judges Prize. To boost engagement and increase exposure for the artists, the general public are also invited to cast a vote online or in person for their favourite artwork displayed in the exhibition, for which the most popular work will receive the Public Vote Prize. The winning students receive cash prizes and trophies, their school art departments also receive cash grants to be used to for the wider benefit of all students and their creative pursuits. A selection of artworks are sold through silent auction, at the discretion of each student. Sales proceeds are spilt equally between the student and our charitable programmes.

Congratulations to Yaryna Rhea Boodhun, the Judges Prize Winner for The Mauritius Students Prize 2026! Her work 'Breath Between Beats' received the highest score from our judges.

Yaryna says "Inspired by the fluidity and tension of sensual dance, I sought to reveal how posture, hands, and subtle gestures can speak louder than words."

Shenane Selena Ng-Wing-Yik takes home the Public Vote Prize for her work 'Whispers of Flames' which "...captures a mystical moment between a woman and a fiery phoenix, as if caught in the middle of a silent conversation."

Well done to both winners, as well as all the shortlisted artists for this year's Prize!
