Timber Vision Awards

For the seventh consecutive year, the annual Intergrain Timber Vision Awards is running again and entries are now open. Following the success of previous years, the Awards program is designed to celebrate the innovative use of timber in Architecture and Design, and to award high calibre projects that have used timber in inspiring and creative ways.

Recognising outstanding work and projects that push the boundaries of normal timber application, design professionals across the building and landscaping industries are invited to enter innovative projects, which showcase their unique and visionary use of timber. Geared towards influential architects from Australia, it now for the first time ever has opened up to New Zealand.

With an overwhelming response of quality entries received last year and a continued increase in high-calibre entries over the past six years, Intergrain is proud to announce a new category to the Awards program – the Travel Bursary Award.

Intergrain Trade Brand Manager, Amanda Chalmers said the addition of the Travel Bursary Award enables Intergrain to build stronger relationships with leading Architects in Australia, as well as New Zealand.

“We are thrilled to introduce this new award to the program. Not only is it a great opportunity for us to see the breadth of outstanding work by a firm over the past decade, but it also allows the firm to showcase their talent to the world.”

“As timber continues its popularity and relevance in the design industry as well as the addition of New Zealand, it will be a great way to see how trends have changed, and how these firms have expressed their creativity through timber in inspiring and innovative ways over the past 10 years,” said Chalmers.

The judging panel will be made up of high quality industry professionals and winners, and individual projects will be awarded in six categories – Residential Interior, Residential Exterior, Commercial Interior, Commercial Exterior, Landscape and Young Architect – with an overall “Grand Prix” winner chosen from the winners of the six categories.

Each category winner will receive $2,000 cash (cheque) plus up to 100L of Intergrain products (to the value of $2,500), while the Grand Prix winner will receive an additional $2,000. All winners, commendations and special mentions will receive a certificate.

Entries opened on April 19 and close on June 26. The winners will be announced in August at the Intergrain Timber Vision Awards Breakfast to be held in Melbourne.
