The Young Woodworking Professionals competition recognizes outstanding projects and the young wood pros that create them. And it's returning in 2021!
Beginning Monday, December 14, simply post a picture of your woodworking project along with a brief description on Twitter, Instagram or at Woodworking Network's Facebook page, using #YoungWoodPro. When posting on Twitter or Instagram, be sure to mention @WoodworkingBiz (Twitter) or @WoodworkingNetwork (Instagram). Alternatively, you can enter directly with this form.
Please limit your entry to 1 per person. You must be between the ages of 18-35, (by year's end 2021) and be a professional woodworker. Judging of your project is completely based on the photo you post so make sure it's a good photo!
Public voting
