Deadline: November
30, 2018
The PPC Imaginarium Awards Call for Entry closes on Friday, November 30,
2018. This is the last opportunity emerging creatives in South Africa will have
to enter the awards and thereby stand the chance to win their share of R520,000
in cash prizes, public exposure by way of a nationwide travelling exhibition,
mentorships and more.
The PPC Imaginarium Awards was developed as a means to give emerging
artists and designers the opportunity to showcase their creative talent by
using Portland cement-based concrete as a primary 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 South Africa and
has seen many of its past entrants and finalists go on to become recognised in
the art and business community.
Each Category Winner will receive R50,000, while the Runner-up will
receive R20,000. From the Category Winners, judges also choose an Overall
Winner, who receives R100,000 over and above the prize for his/her category.
Artists and designers may enter in one or more categories, provided each work
is original, and may enter if they have previously entered or won in the
competition.
The PPC Imaginarium Award for Architecture is announced at a separate
prize-giving and is open to all architecture schools in Southern Africa. The
winner is seen as the top design student in Southern Africa currently
registered for a degree in architecture.
The awards are open to artists, designers and architecture students
living in South Africa and Zimbabwe – including resident holders and foreign
students with study permits living in both countries. In order to qualify,
entrants must not be established professionally in their respective industries.
The competition recently opened its doors to Zimbabwe, with the first
PPC Imaginarium Awards Zimbabwe taking place in 2017/2018. Category Winners and
Runners-up are announced separately in each country, with the exception of
Architecture.
Entry registrations must be submitted online via
www.ppcimaginarium.co.za.
