From our archives: 2002 Overall Winner - Robert Morris-Nunn - The Forest EcoCentre

The Australian Timber Design Awards (ATDA), now entering the 11th year of competition, is proud to announce that entry for 2010 is now open.

Big news this year is that the 2010 ATDA will, for the first time, allow entries to be entirely submitted online. No more poster boards and bubble wrap: entrants will instead upload their images and project descriptions via the password protected Awards Submission Facility on this website.

Another big change for 2010 is our expanded set of entry categories. There are now 7 primary entry categories, all building related, including a new category, Interior Fitout - Residential. There are separate Sustainable Design awards for residential and commercial projects, and a new Best Use of Recycled Timber award. A special category for Best Timber Joinery or Furniture Element has also been added; and we even have a dedicated award - the Australian International Project Award - for projects designed by Australian residents but built overseas.

Following the success of the introduction in 2009 of Regional Awards, there will, once again, be regional presentations in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. The national winners will be announced at a gala timber industry event in Sydney on Friday 29th October.

Get started by reading through the entry categories: we're certain you'll find a category to suit your project. Then, when you're ready to begin your submission (you may modify it at any time up until the close of entries), enter the 2010 ATDA!
