Entries for the 2009 Australian Timber Design Awards are suddenly pouring in. The submission deadline for the Awards, the highest profile timber design competition in the Australasian region, is now July 31 -- and we know that the closer we get to that date, the more entries we will receive each day in the post. Judging from the quantity of entry forms we have already received, 2009 looks to be a record breaking year for the Awards.

Don't forget that this year, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Awards, we have introduced regional awards. That means, of course, more opportunities to win. It also means bigger and better presentation nights. Andrew Waugh, Director of Waugh Thistleton Architects of London, will be the main speaker at each of the Awards regional presentation nights. Mr Waugh was the principal architect behind the Murray Grove Tower, the world's tallest modern timber residential building, so we are very much looking forward to hearing his insights into timber-based design at each of these events.

And one more thing: the TDA has reached a special agreement which gives the National Winner a 4 Page project profile in a Universal Magazine of their choice, e.g. Luxury Home Design, Green Living, Outdoor Rooms Magazine, Contemporary Home Design Annual, Renovate & Extend, Kitchens and Bathrooms, Poolside, Outdoor Design and Living.

If you have been involved in the design of an outstanding timber structure within the last 3 years -- or know of someone who has -- download an entry form today!
