It's almost time for the 2010 Australian Timber Design Awards to open - are you ready?

If you've been involved in the design of an outstanding timber structure within the last 3 years, you should start thinking now - before entries open, on March 26th - about entering the 2010 Awards. The regional and national awards are numerous and diverse: they include, for example, awards for interior fitouts, for outdoor structures, and for timber joinery or furniture. Whatever the project, we're sure you'll find an entry category to suit it. And the sooner you start preparing your entry, the better the chance you'll have of snagging an award.

To get you thinking about your entry - or if you simply feel like enjoying a bit of timber eye candy - have a look at our online galleries of entries from 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006. Fancy a little more inspiration? Watch the presentation given by Andrew Waugh of Waugh Thistleton Architects at the 2009 Australian Timber Design Awards. Mr Waugh was the principal architect behind the Murray Grove Tower, the world's tallest modern timber residential building, the construction of which he discusses in this presentation. And be sure to drop by timberawards.com.au from time to time over the coming months: we'll shortly be putting up image galleries from 2000 to 2006; and we have quite a few surprises in store for this year's Awards!
