19 structures and 11 product designs have been nominated for the Wood Awards 2021

19 structures and 11 product designs have been nominated for the Wood Awards 2021. 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 aims to encourage and promote outstanding timber 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.

The Wood Awards shortlist will be on display at The Building Centre in London, from 25 October until 3 December, as part of the exhibition World of Wood. This six-week celebration of global timber and global forests will demonstrate the benefits forest supply chains bring to the natural and urban environment. It seeks to build on the increased interest in climate change policy, highlight the vital role which forest supply chains play in reducing carbon emissions, and showcase the innovation and design potential of timber.
