The students who missed the 2007 handout of $24,000 in prizes from the Association of Woodworking & Furnishings Suppliers have a year to get the creativity flowing for next year: The organization is already seeking entries (due May 1, 2009) to its 2009 Fresh Wood Student Competition.
The competition is open to full-time students in an accredited high school or post secondary woodworking or related program, as well as part-time students in an accredited post secondary woodworking or related program that are transitioning into a career in woodworking or design. Submissions can fall into categories including case goods, chairs, class project, open, production, reproduction, and tables.
Projects must be completed to qualify -- with the exception of the finish coating. This new criteria is intended to help judges in the selection process.
Winners will be announced during the AWFS Fair , which runs July 15-18, 2009 in Las Vegas and will include a showcase of the finalist designs. |
