BROUGHT to you by Barung Landcare and sponsored by Sunshine Coast Council, the Sunshine Coast Wootha Prize invites woodworkers and artisans from across Australia to enter this prestigious woodworking competition with a conscience.
Woodworkers of all levels, from beginners to seasoned professionals, are encouraged to submit entries. Finalists will be in the running to win an overall cash prize of $10,000 as well as a share in a further prize pool of $6,500.
Finalist pieces of the Sunshine Coast Wootha Prize go on to form the feature exhibition at the Maleny Wood Expo, which will be held May 3-5, 2025, in the picturesque town of Maleny, Sunshine Coast, Queensland.
The competition theme for the 2025 Sunshine Coast Wootha Prize is ‘Whimsy in Wood’ where creativity knows no bounds!
Entrants are invited to explore this theme and create works under the categories of ‘Furniture, Sculpture’ or ‘Tiny Treasures’ in ways that captivate and delight the judges and audience alike.
