Entries open for Craftsman’s Challenge Veneer Awards at IWF

Entries are still open for the VeneerTech Craftsman’s Challenge competition. The entry deadline is July 1 for this year’s contest. Winners will be announced at a special event at IWF 2022 in Atlanta with a grand prize of $3,000.

The designer, craftsman, or manufacturer who enters the best work submitted in the view of a panel of expert judges. Awards also include $2,000 for the supplier of veneer for the winning piece and $1,000 to the salesman who sold the veneer. A search for veneer exhibitors at IWF 2022 shows this category of supplier, and the competition is open to any veneer brand.

There are separate category prizes as well of $1,000 each for Architectural, Cabinetry, Furniture, Marquetry, Specialty Products, and Student Work. Enter online and post your entry, including photos. Top quality images are essential to show off the veneer.
