Contest description: It's hardly a secret that wood is the most warm and living material.  Each wooden masterpiece features mystery, personality and connection to nature. Wooden objects are not subject to age - with time they only become better, getting a fleur of vintage and a history of their own.  It's the hand of a true Matter that helps in revealing the beauty of the wood and showing its soul. We invite everybody to take part in the contest "Soul of the Wood"!

Winners of the first three awards in each nomination are participants with portfolios that get the most votes through the whole voting period.
