GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The Cabinet Makers Association (CMA) announced the commencement of submissions for the prestigious 14th annual Wood Diamond Awards. Established in 2010, the Wood Diamond Awards recognize outstanding achievements in the cabinet-making industry, while providing an opportunity for members to showcase their work and acknowledge the craftsmanship of their peers. 

Open for entries from March 1st through May 1st, the Wood Diamond Awards invite cabinet makers from across the industry to submit their projects. Each submission requires a nominal fee of $75, offering an accessible avenue for craftsmen to participate in this esteemed competition. 

"We're excited to launch the 14th edition of the Wood Diamond Awards," said Amanda Conger, Executive Director of the Cabinet Makers Association. "These awards not only honor the remarkable talent within our community but also serve as a testament to the dedication and innovation displayed by our members in their craft." 

Participants can explore previous award‐winning projects, review submission guidelines, and access the entry form by visiting the official Wood Diamond Awards page at www.cabinetmakers.org/wooddiamond‐awards. 

Anonymously judged by non‐participating members, the Wood Diamond Awards ensure a fair and impartial evaluation process. The winners will be unveiled during the Member Appreciation Reception held at the International Woodworking Fair (IWF) in Atlanta on Wednesday, August 7th, 2024.
 
"The Wood Diamond Awards not only celebrate excellence but also provide winners with a platform to elevate their brands and showcase their achievements," added Conger. "We encourage all cabinet makers to seize this opportunity to share their talents and be recognized on a national stage."
