PERFECTION IN MINIATURE AWARDS 2021
We are preparing to host the 2021 PIMA at the KDF London Showcase on September 17th & 18th at Kensington Town Hall. The Perfection in Miniature Awards have become an important part of our annual calendar & are always something we are very excited about.
After the incredible entries we received for the 2020 PIMA, we hope the craftsmen who have attended our shows over the last year will be able to produce some equally enthralling work. As usual, the closing date for registering an entry is one month prior to the show & all entries must be received prior to the event as we judge the competition on the evening before the show opens. (only makers who exhibit at our shows are able to enter).
Ahmed Al Thani, a collector of miniatures & a friend of Kensington Dollshouse Festival, came up with the idea for the PIMA back in 2015. He wanted to encourage our talented makers to really push themselves & create something that usually, they wouldn’t have the need to do. Often makers get caught up with orders & commissions, which makes it hard to focus on creating something new.
As usual, all the entries will be on display at the KDF London Showcase. This is an incredibly varied collection of work from our talented makers & once again visitors to our show will be able to vote for their favourite entries with the ‘People’s Choice Award’. The winner of this will receive a special award.
Not only was Ahmed the founder of this competition but he is also the sponsor & provides an incredibly generous prize package that can be a great help to our hard working craftsmen.
The gallery below shows the winners & runners up from the last 6 years of the PIMA. It is great to see all these incredible miniatures in one place. Who will be added to this galleryy in September?
