Last night the 21st edition of the RAIMA Illustration Awards was held at Disseny Hub Barcelona – the reference space for design in the city of Barcelona.
Yesterday was a gala full of allusions to architecture and enlivened by fun imitations of the actor Pep Plaza.

One of the funniest moments of the night was when the actor Pep plaza (Crackòvia; TV3), who was responsible for entertaining the gala, “transformed” into Eugenio. Later, his imitations of Elvis Presley, Lluis Llach, Julio Iglesias, Bee Gees, Tomeu Penya, Matías Prats, etc. followed.
Once the awards ceremony was over, Nuria Raja took the stage to thank the sponsors for their support of the initiative, keeping RAIMA present in their balance sheets every two years. Circumstance that she greatly appreciated, in these moments that we live. Also worth highlighting is the appearance of the entire RAIMA team on stage, with Nuria Raja at the helm, to thank everyone for their attendance.
The RAIMA illustration and design competition aims to stimulate and promote the creativity and work of plastic artists. In addition to a cash prize, the winners will see their work printed in the calendar that RAIMA has been publishing since 1990.
