Established in 1892, PPC has tracked the growth and development of South Africa, producing the cement used to build many of the country's iconic landmarks and construction projects, including the Union Buildings, Gariep Dam, Van Staden's River Bridge, Gautrain, Medupi Power Station, and Cape Town's Green Point Stadium. A truly African success story, PPC reflects the strength of its people, products, and services. As it expands into the rest of Africa, PPC will deploy its sustainable business model - one built to last - and continue to work towards being the brand of choice in its chosen marketplace.
Description
OVERVIEW
Due to the multitude of new technologies available, the definition of 'sculpture' has grown to embrace not only single-medium, three-dimensional objects, but also mixed-media installation art.
Final pieces must demonstrate an understanding of concrete as an artistic medium.
SUBMISSION CRITERIA
The work of entrants will be adjudicated by an independent panel of judges. To be eligible for entry, there are number of criteria to consider. Entrants are expected to take careful note of the information and conditions in this section. Non-compliance will result in disqualification.
JUDGING CRITERIA
The judges are looking for entries that demonstrate outstanding craftsmanship, aesthetic appeal, a balance between technical excellence and commercial appreciation, and a respect for the medium of concrete. Entries will also be judged on their structural soundness.
The judges' decision is final and no correspondence with the organisers/judges will be allowed.
It is in the sole and final discretion of the organisers/judges to cancel any entry on the grounds of illegality, infringement of any third party rights, or a transgression of the constitutional right of freedom of expression.
