About Wood Awards

From more than 200 projects entered, this year’s shortlist of 32 for the Wood Awards unveils the diverse, creative, and high-quality buildings and furniture being made using the world’s only truly sustainable and renewable material – wood. Established in 1971, the Wood Awards is the UK’s premier competition for excellence in architecture and product design in wood. The competition is free to enter, and recognises, encourages, and promotes outstanding wood design, craftsmanship and installation. The independent judging panel visits all the shortlisted projects in person, making this a uniquely rigorous competition. The Awards are split into two main categories; Buildings and Furniture & Product.
