銅鐘藝術賞是簡靜惠女士為紀念父親簡銅鐘因文學、藝術與電影養分豐富生命而設立，每年捐贈100萬元，2015年開始以文學獎勵傑出文學家，2018年起延伸為藝術賞，延續洪建全文教基金會「播種」精神，由副董事長張淑征負責策劃，以文化創投的前瞻概念出發，遴選一位具獨特視野及國際觀的台灣當代藝術家，基於對藝術家創作理念的信任，在概念階段即給予肯定，並支持其藝術的實踐。

The Tung Chung Prize is a 1 million NTD annual award to support an exceptional artist’s creative output for one year. The prize was established in 2015 by Hong Foundation’s Honorary Chairperson Celia Ching-Hui CHIEN in honor of her father, Tung-Chung CHIEN, who enriched her life through literature, art, and film. The Tung Chung Prize was awarded to outstanding writers of Mandarin literature from 2015 to 2018, and to artists whose international perspective resonates throughout and beyond greater Mandarin cultures from 2019 to 2021. Overseen by Hong Foundation Vice Chair Grace CHEUNG, the Tung Chung Prize embodies the spirit of “cultural venture capital”, by supporting creators and artists at the early concept stage of creative work.
