WOOD MARKETING FEDERATION AWARDS FOR STUDENTS OF ARCHITECTURE,
ENGINEERING & DESIGN

 

In 2006, the Wood Marketing Federation (WMF) launched the 3rd Level Student Wood Awards in association with Wood NI. These are now regarded as the premier awards for third level students of architecture, engineering and design in Ireland who specialise making work in timber and timber products. The awards are open to students who incorporate wood as an inherent element in their projects. Award winners have gone on to pursue successful careers in wood and related businesses and have exhibited at Irish and international shows.

The objective of the awards is to encourage students to explore functional, aesthetic and design aspects of wood. The awards are judged by professionals in the fields of architecture, engineering and design. The feedback from the judging panel is extremely valuable to students.
