Every summer, The Kensington Dollshouse Festival hosts the prestigious Perfection in Miniatures Award (PIMA) competition to celebrate excellence in miniature making across all media. The PIMA competition attracts entries from master artisans from around the world, providing a showcase for a remarkable range of unique crafts.

As of 2022, Jeremy has the distinction of being the only craftsman to have received first, second and third PIMA prizes and two Highly Commended mentions for his fine miniatures entries – which are all available to purchase from the online shop.
