Faithful to its educational and artistic mission, the Boghossian Foundation awards annual prizes to students completing their artistic studies. Winners, selected on the basis of their end-of-year examinations, receive the sum of 2,000€.
This approach follows the partnerships with the Antwerp Academy and ArtContest.
The 2022 Boghossian Belgium Foundation Prize was awarded to the students Klara Marie Bliss (Costume design workshop) et Amber Geuns (Painting workshop), of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp, Barbara Felgenhauer (Photography workshop) and Lucyle Massu (Visual and Graphic Design Communication workshop), of the National School of Visual Arts of La Cambre, Gladys Bonnet (Painting workshop) and Fengdan Qin (Painting workshop) of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Brussels, and Diedrik Forier (Fine Arts) and Inke Slock (Fine Arts) at LUCA School of Arts.
The 2021 Boghossian Belgium Foundation Prize was awarded to the students Bernadette Zdrazil (Sculpture workshop) and Job Gijsbrechts (Costume design workshop), of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp, Harold Lechien (Engraving and printed image workshop) and Félicien Umbreit (Ceramics workshop), of the National School of Visual Arts of La Cambre, and Margaux Lecoursonnois (Sculpture workshop), Roman Couchard (Engraving workshop) of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Brussels, and Simon Risi et Liselore Vandeput of the LUCA School of Arts.
They each received a check for 2,000€.
The 2020 Boghossian Belgium Foundation Prize was awarded to two students of the National School of Visual Arts of La Cambre: Pauline Bonnet (ceramics workshop) and Adèle Gallé (typography workshop). They each received a check for 1,250€.
The remarkable ArtContest initiative rewards the work of young contemporary artists. During the past five editions that the Foundation has sponsored, ten talents, either Belgian or resident in Belgium, have benefitted from the first and second prizes of 9,000€ and 6,000€ respectively.

The Boghossian Foundation has supported the Antwerp Academy of Fine Arts, in the first instance its design and jewellery workshop headed by Nedda El-Asmar. As well as providing financial support enabling the school to invite foreign creatives and to organize workshops and study trips, the Boghossian granted every year an award to a student completing its academic training.
