For the past few years, the list of the annual Design Portfolio award winners have been published in the November issue of Custom Woodworking Business magazine.

This year, we are expanding the Design Portfolio program to allow the entire industry to participate, first by entering. And then, by voting in an informal "people's choice" program.

In addition to the traditional panel judging of entrants - now managed online - we are inviting the wood industry to vote on entrants at the woodworkingnetwork.com/designportfolio website.

The November issue of Custom Woodworking Business will carry a recap of candidates for the 19th annual competition. Everyone is encouraged to vote. It will be interesting to compare the results of our judges panel with the "people's choice" captured online.

After the voting and judging concludes, a December 2011 special publication will be issued, heralding the winners in a freshly designed digital publication, delivered electronically, and sure to be a show stopper.

Included will be details of production techniques, veneers, solid woods and materials and processes used by winners.

This Best of the Best CWB Design Portfolio Digital Edition will also recap other juried woodworking awards from around the industry.

We encourage you to enter your best work in the Design Portfolio Awards, then watch the excitement unfold in the CWB Design Portfolio Digital Edition.
