11/08/2017
The 2017 awards received an unprecedented total of 869 entries, from which 55 finalists were selected. On the back of this success, the PPC Imaginarium is encouraging emerging creatives to enter the country’s richest art and design competition, which offers R500 000 in prizes.
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 Ltd
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 competition is the most
supportive of its kind in the country and has
seen many of its past entrants and finalists go
on to become recognised in the art and business
community.
The awards are 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 and Jewellery categories close on Friday, 1 December 2017, and Architecture entries close on Friday, 01 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.
