  • Caroline Walker, Visual Artist
  • Eugenio Re Rebaudengo, Founder of ARTUNER
  • Howard Bilton, Founder and Chairman of SAF
  • Hugo Wilson, English Artist and Sculptor
  • Kamiar Maleki, Director of Volta Art Fairs

Official Exhibition Venue Partner Phillips will host the 20 shortlisted artworks in a Finalists Exhibition at their London headquarters at 30 Berkeley Square from 1–8 December 2022; parallel to their 20th Century & Contemporary New Now sale featuring works from an international roster of emerging artists and contemporary masters.

The overall winner of The Sovereign Art Foundation Students Prize, London 2022 will be determined when the judging panel examine the shortlisted works in person at the Finalists Exhibition; selecting one student to receive the Judges’ Prize of £800, their school will also be awarded £2,000, to the benefit of a greater number of pupils.

To boost public engagement and increase exposure for the students, exhibition visitors and our online audience are also invited to cast a vote for their favourite finalist artwork, the most popular of which will receive a Public Vote Prize of £400 (and their school £1,000). Online votes will also be accepted from the general public via web gallery (add hyperlink: https://www.sovereignartfoundation.com/art-prizes/student-art-prize/london/) with voting closing at 18:00hrs GMT on 6 December 2022. Furthermore, students can opt to enter their works into a silent auction - the proceeds of which are split between the artist and Foundation – who will use funds raised to further their charitable aims.

SAF runs ten Student Prizes around the world, the first of which was established in 2012 in Hong Kong, followed by Bahrain, Gibraltar, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, Malta & Gozo, Mauritius, Portugal and Singapore. The winners from London will go up against the winners from the other prizes in contention for the 2023 Global Students Prize.
