A project of the innovation department of PPC Ltd, the PPC Imaginarium Awards is an art and design competition in which emerging artists and designers are challenged to demonstrate their creative talent by incorporating Portland cement-based concrete into their respective disciplines. A winner of several BASA Awards, the competition has firmly established itself as the country’s leading career-launching platform for up-and-coming artists.

The KZNSA Gallery is part of PPC Imaginarium’s nationwide travelling exhibition that sees its finalists’ works displayed at a number of auspicious galleries and events throughout the year. Making its way from Johannesburg to Cape Town, this travelling showcase is what makes the awards the most supportive of its kind in South Africa – that and its cash prizes to the value of R500 000, mentorships with influential leaders in the art and design industry and more.
