Supporting disadvantaged children through art
The Sovereign Asian Foundation Art Prize was founded to increase the international exposure of artists based across the Asia-Pacific region and raises funds auctioning shortlisted artworks to support disadvantaged children through expressive arts.
The Prize is now recognised as the most established and prestigious annual art award in Asia-Pacific and has so far raised over US$9 million for artists and charities worldwide.
Growing their Prize
The Sovereign Art Foundation have used Zealous to expand the size and scope of their prizes.
- Creating a global hub for applicants and judges to use across different time zones
- Control how many submissions each candidate can make
- Enable judges to easily compare entries and mark them in their own time
- Customise Zealous to satisfy the individual needs of multiple competitions
By appointing Zealous we have saved days’ worth of time which has allowed us to expand the size and scope of our prizes to the benefit of all those involved.

Notable successes include Adrian Wong, Debbie Han, Haris Purnomo, Jeongmee Yoon, Qi Zhi Long, Rashid Rana and Yang Yongliang, amongst others.
Recently the Sovereign Art Foundation has also introduced a parallel prize in partnership with Vogue to celebrate women artists.
