Time is running out to enter the Young Woodworking Professional contest

The Young Woodworking Professionals contest is not your normal woodworking competition. You don’t need to have a fancy title, work for a big named company, or have a shop full of high-tech woodworking machines.

What you need to be, however, is young, talented, and professional with a standout woodworking project.

If you are all of those things, enter that standout project into this year's YWP contest.

But, time is running short. Less than one week to go before you need to get your entry in.

Before 11:59 p.m. on March 11, post one 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) to ensure entry is counted. Alternatively, you can enter directly with this form.

Limit your entry to 1 per person. You must be between the ages of 18-35, (by year-end 2022) and be a professional woodworker. Judging of your project is based on the photo you post, so make sure it's a good photo!

Public voting
Entrance to the competition will close on March 11. We will then publish a photo album to our Facebook page containing every entry. Public voting will then take place from March 14 - 18. Voting is based on the number of 'likes' each entry receives. 1 like = 1 vote.

Ten finalists will be determined based on the number of votes, with our team of judges selecting the overall winner.
