The Wood Awards is the UK’s premier competition for excellence in architecture and product design in the world’s only naturally sustainable material. The Awards aim to recognise, encourage and promote outstanding design, craftsmanship and installation using wood.
The competition began in 1971 as the Carpenters’ Award and was relaunched in 2003 as the Wood Awards. The Awards have had an impact on the architectural and design landscape, becoming a ‘mark of excellence’ in wood with past Gold Award Winners including Stephen Marshall Architects for the Rothschild Foundation, Glenn Howells Architects for the Savill Building, Simon Conder for Pinion’s Barn, David Morley Architects for The Hurlingham Club Outdoor Pool, and most recently, Niall McLaughlin’s Bishop Edward King Chapel in Oxfordshire.
The Awards’ elite independent judging panel of professional experts and specialists not only judges the submitted entries but visits the shortlisted projects in person, making the Wood Awards as meaningful and rigorous a competition as possible. The Wood Awards 2015 judges include Hugh Pearman, Editor of RIBA Journal and Max Fraser, Editor of the London Design Guide.
As a not-for-profit competition, the Wood Awards can only happen with collaborative industry sponsorship. More sponsor information.
Even if a project is not shortlisted there are benefits to entering the Wood Awards as all entries receive social media and PR exposure. The Wood Awards shortlist will be announced in July and everyone involved in a shortlisted project will be invited to attend the Wood Awards ceremony in London on 10 November 2015. The shortlisted projects will be on display at the ceremony as well as at exhibitions including 100% Design and Clerkenwell Design Week. All Wood Award winners receive trophies and certificates and are featured in the December issue of the RIBA Journal.
