2018 PPC Imaginarium Awards open for entries

The winner of each of the six categories will receive a cash prize of R50,000, with runners-up walking away with R15,000 each. The overall winner will receive the grand prize of R100,000 – that’s in addition to having won their respective category prize.

The PPC Imaginarium Awards were established by PPC as a means to give emerging designers and artists the opportunity to showcase their talent and creative thinking by using Portland cement-based concrete as a primary base or material across the competition’s six disciplines, namely Architecture, Fashion, Film, Industrial Design, Jewellery and Sculpture.

The awards is open to South African citizens, resident holders as well as foreign students with study permits, who are not professionally established in their respective fields. Artists and designers may enter multiple categories, with an original artwork for each category, and may enter over again if they entered in previous years. Entry registrations must be submitted online via the official website, www.ppcimaginarium.co.za.

Film entries close on Tuesday, 31 October 2017. Entries for the Sculpture, Industrial Design, Fashion, Jewellery and Architecture categories close on Friday, 1 December 2017. National judging and the 2018 winners announcement will take place in April 2018. The winner and runner-up in the Architecture category will be announced in May 2018.
