The Call for Entries is now open to North American and International submissions to the 2022-23 Wood Design and Building Awards program recognizing excellence in wood architecture.
The Wood Design & Building Awards program recognizes design teams that are passionate about celebrating wood as a safe, strong and sophisticated building material.
Entries should showcase the use of wood products in any, or several, of their many forms and applications. Entries should also demonstrate an understanding of the special properties of wood including strength, durability, beauty, and cost-effectiveness.
