The Wood Design & Building Awards program invites North American and International entries for 2019 -

honouring excellence in wood architecture.

Entries should consist of building projects that show a wide range of wood product applications and

effectiveness.

All projects completed in the period between January 1st, 2014 and November 15th, 2019 are eligible for entry

[except previous winning projects of the Wood Design & Building Awards].

A jury of prominent architects from Canada and the U.S. will review all entries based on various considerations

such as creativity, appropriate use of wood materials in satisfying clients’ building and site requirements and

innovative design.The judging will take place on December 6th and the results will be announced early January,

2020 .

Honor, Merit and Citation awards will be given at the discretion of the jury. Framed Award certificates and one
