Latest News Mon, Mar 10, 2025 7:25 AM

The Wood Awards 2025 is now open for entries, offering a prestigious platform to showcase and celebrate the UK’s finest timber architecture and design. This is your chance to have your work recognised by some of the most influential figures in the industry.

Every single entry to the Wood Awards will be reviewed by our distinguished panels of independent expert judges, including leading architects, structural engineers, furniture designers and makers.

In the Buildings category, the panel includes Jim Greaves, Lead Building Judge and Principal at Hopkins Architects, Andrew Lawrence, Global Timber Specialist at Arup, David Morley, Partner at David Morley Architects, Nathan Wheatley, Director at Engenuiti, Kirsten Haggart, Associate Director at Waugh Thistleton Architects, Jonas Lencer, Director at dRMM Architects, Neil Smith, Director at Max Fordham, Andrew Trotman, Founding Director at Timberwright, and Ruth Slavid, Architecture Journalist.

The Furniture & Objects category is judged by Sebastian Cox RDI, Lead Furniture & Objects Judge and Fine Furniture Maker, Caroline Till, Co-Founder at FranklinTil, Hugo Macdonald, Critic and Curator, Johanna Agerman Ross, Conran Foundation Chief Curator at the Design Museum, and Sophie Sellu, Founder of Grain & Knot.

These leading industry figures will personally visit all shortlisted projects, assessing them based on design, craftsmanship, sustainability, and impact. Their collective expertise ensures that only the very best in timber design will be recognised and celebrated.

For over 50 years, the Wood Awards has been a benchmark for excellence in timber design, and winners receive more than just a trophy – they gain recognition, exposure, and lasting prestige within the design world. The Wood Awards is FREE to enter, with every entry judged entirely on merit. Your timber project deserves more than to be seen – it deserves to be remembered.

The competition is open to UK-based projects completed in the last two years, where timber is a primary material. Categories include Buildings, which can range from large-scale commercial projects to beautifully crafted private homes, and Furniture & Objects, which include both handcrafted and production pieces.

The entry period runs through to Friday 23rd May. The 2025 shortlist will be revealed in early September, leading up to the Wood Awards Shortlist Exhibition at Gallery@Oxo, during the London Design Festival. Shortlisted projects will receive exclusive invitations to attend the exhibition’s Opening Night and the Wood Awards Ceremony in November at the iconic Carpenters’ Hall.

The Wood Awards 2025 is the UK’s most prestigious timber design award – will your work make the shortlist? For more details and to enter, visit www.woodawards.com/enter.
