The Wood Awards 2009 are officially open for entries.

The annual competition for the use of wood in building structures, interiors and furniture is urging architects, designers, builders, manufacturers and timber suppliers to put forward projects and says it hopes this year will produce a record crop of entries.

Last year’s Awards attracted 200, from which a shortlist of 29 was drawn up by the judges.

The top Gold Award was won by the New Shetland Museum and Archives in Lerwick.
