More than 70 entries were submitted for the "Award for Design and Carpentry". On Thursday, the proud winners were brought before the curtain at a ceremony. The awards have been presented every four years since 2013.

On Thursday evening, the "Award for Design and Carpentry" was presented for the fourth time by proHolz Tirol in cooperation with the Provincial Guild of Carpenters and Wood Designers and the Chamber of Civil Engineers. A total of 76 entries were submitted in the six categories of interior design, furnishings in the private environment, design object, carpentry work, renovation and export.

The submissions were all of a very high standard. We spent a day in intensive deliberation and discussion to determine the winners.

Trophies and certificates awarded
In each of these categories, the four-member jury awarded an award and recognition. The beaming winners received both a trophy and a certificate, while those who received recognition "only" received a certificate. "The submissions were all of a very high standard. We spent a day in intensive deliberation and discussion to determine the winners," says jury chairman Günther Grall.

"Need to move away from solid construction"
According to architect Hanno Vogl-Fernheim, "we have to move away from solid construction. Wood is a renewable raw material that is good for the eco-balance. Cooperation with carpenters and other companies is essential in construction".

"This award, which is presented every four years, is very important in our industry," says proHolz CEO Rüdiger Lex.
