The Wood Awards is the UK’s premier architecture and furniture competition celebrating excellence in design in the world’s most sustainable material. Now in its ninth year, the Wood Awards is the most respected award for building and design in wood.
The Wood Awards was launched forty years ago this year, in 1971 as the Carpenters’ Award. It is now Britain’s premier award for wood in buildings and furniture. The aim of the Wood Awards is to recognise, encourage and promote outstanding design, craftsmanship and installation in wood, the worlds most naturally sustainable material.
The Wood Awards launched this year’s Call for Entries to a full house seminar at the Building Centre, London on Thursday 24th March 2011. This year there was no admin fee to enter and the competition closed for entries on 3rd June 2011.
