The Natural, Unique and Beautiful Awards

We are proud to announce the 7th annual matilda veneer Natural, Unique and Beautiful Awards.

We are now taking submissions for our 2025 edition which promises to be the biggest yet. Building on the momentum of the past six years, we will be working with all within our industry to ensure this year’s edition in another step forward in the pursuit of better recognising, featuring and rewarding the outstanding projects with which matilda veneer’s products are increasingly featured and the people responsible for their specification and use.
