The Princess Grace Foundation-USA has named 18 winners and 11 Honoraria recipients for its 2026 awards, recognising emerging talent across theatre, dance and film. The programme, established in honour of Princess Grace of Monaco, has now supported more than 1,000 artists over its history, including previous recipients such as Tony Kushner and Leslie Odom Jr., and aims to support promising practitioners early in their careers.

Award winners will each receive an unrestricted cash grant of $15,000, while Honoraria recipients will receive $1,500. Recipients include dancer India Hobbs, nominated by former winner Andrea Miller, and filmmaker Brit Hensel of the Upstander Project, among others spanning theatre and playwriting, dance performance and choreography categories. The foundation also offers additional support through its Special Project Grant, Artist Fellowship and Grace Kelly Scholarship, and the honourees will be celebrated at the Princess Grace Awards Gala on 30 January, presided over by Prince Albert II of Monaco.
