The Perfection in Miniatures Awards Open Competition

Crochet Opera Bag. 2nd Place in the PIMA Open Comp 2019 by Giovanna Guerrero

In 2019, the Perfection in Miniature Awards had been running for 5 years. Throughout this time, we had had many requests for a new competition that anyone could enter, not just LDF Exhibitors. So we introduced the PIMA Open Competition.

Each year we choose an area of expertise (2019 was Needlework, 2020 is Carpentry-furniture). Anyone who has not exhibited at an LDF show in the past 5 years can enter. We are hoping to encourage amateur miniaturists to have a go themselves & create something spectacular, so we can find our exhibitors of the future.
