Each year, it seems, the number of entries to the Awards grows. 2009 is, nonetheless, exceptional: we've never seen close to the number of entries received this year across all categories. The introduction of regional awards and the sponsorship provided by the Wood Naturally Better campaign must have had a lot to do with this. But all praise must ultimately go to the architects, designers and timber professionals who have turned this competition from its humble beginnings ten years ago into the highest profile timber design contest in Australasia. All entries are now in, and judging will soon commence. As always, staff here at the Timber Development Association have been poring over the entries and picking personal favourites. We have been particularly impressed by the wonderful range of timber palettes with which we have been presented this year – but our opinions carry no weight in the selection of the winners. Our panel of judges – timber experts from industry, architecture and design – have the only say in this matter. Their selections will be made public at the various Awards presentation nights to be held across Australia in October (see below) and then on timberawards.com.au. Once again, thank you to all entrants for your contribution towards the success of the 2009 Australian Timber Design Awards. |
