- Projects submitted for the competition should have been constructed by members entering the competition, within the last 3 years and not previously entered in a Club competition.
- Projects should be of a nature whereby they cannot be entered into the Club’s annual woodworking competition, for example, they are too large/ fixed in place, etc.

- Photographs of the project during construction phase would be welcome.
- Photographs should, if possible, be taken from different angles and include close ups of any notable woodworking features or joints.
