ABOUT PPC IMAGINARIUM:
In 2014, PPC extended its existing sculpture, fine art and industrial design competition (The Young Concrete Sculptor Awards) to include the creative disciplines of jewellery, fashion and film. As a result, the PPC Imaginarium Awards came into being. The ambitious art-and-design contest gives emerging artists and designers the chance to showcase their talents through the medium of concrete.
