Wood Awards call for entries

18 March 2019


The Wood Awards: Excellence in British Architecture and Product Design has now launched its 2019 call for entries.

Anyone involved in a UK-based wood project is invited to enter and has until May 24 to submit their applications. The competition is free to enter and entrants may submit more than one project.

The Wood Awards recognises, encourages and promotes outstanding design, craftsmanship and installation using wood in projects throughout the UK.

The Wood Awards shortlist will be announced in July and the winners will be announced at the Wood Awards ceremony on November 19 at Carpenters’ Hall in London.

The shortlisted projects will be on display at the ceremony and during the London Design Festival in September.

With permission from the owner, anyone associated with a building or product completed in the last two years, can enter. Buildings must be located within the UK whilst furniture and other products must have been either designed or manufactured in the UK. Fitted furniture must be in the UK. There are no restrictions on the size or budget of a project.

The 2019 buildings categories will be confirmed later this year. These are likely to be Commercial & Leisure, Education & Public Sector, Interiors, Private and Small Project. Other awards, such as Structural and Existing Building awards, can be given at the judges’ discretion.

The Furniture & Product competition will be split into Bespoke, Production Made and Student Designer which is open to anyone currently in education or who has left education in the past 12 months. Within the Student category there are two cash prizes (£1,000 for the winner and £500 for the people’s choice).

Entries must be submitted via woodawards.com.
