Since 2017, Skånes konstförening awards one emerging artist per year with the Sven and Ellida Hjorts Exhibition Grant to an emerging artist based in Skåne, Sweden. The grant includes a stipend of 20 000 SEK and a solo exhibition at Skånes konstförening in the beginning of 2023 (incl. production budget of 20 000 SEK, exhibition fee, editorial and curatorial support).

The recipient is elected by a jury from Skånes konstförening’s board. The jury will make a shortlist from the nominations and contact the selected artists for studio visits in June. The final recipient will be announced during the Summer 2022.

Former recipients include Hanni Kamaly (2017), LealVeileby (2018), Ikram Abdulkadir (2019), Cia Kanthi (2020), and Sana Jarrar (2021).
