Students participating in South African Council for the Architectural Profession (SACAP) accredited architecture programmes, or the international equivalent, are invited to enter the 2025 Timber Design Competition.

The theme for this year's competition is Expanding Timber's Design Potential. Participants can choose and define their own construction site and programme to highlight the transformative potential of engineered timber as a building technology.

The competition is an initiative of the York Timber Research Chair at the University of Pretoria and is sponsored by York Timbers.

Individuals or groups of three can submit entries ranging from self-initiated conceptual designs to academic coursework. It must exploit engineered timber's distinctive attributes and capacity to address the challenges of climate change and the rapidly evolving built environment.
