World Wood Day Event is an annual global cultural celebration advocated by the International Wood Culture Society (IWCS) to increase recognition on the significance of wood in our daily lives and to appreciate wood as an eco-friendly renewable biomaterial.
World Wood Day (WWD) falls on March 21st, the vernal equinox and the start of spring. WWD Event was first celebrated in Tanzania in 2013 and wood scholars, enthusiasts, educators, artists, craftsmen, musicians, industry people, and the public have come together to participate in a variety of programs at the event every year since then. As a reflection of the 2018 WWD theme “Life,” the theme for the 2018 photo contest is “Wood and Life.”
The contest is divided into three categories, “People,” “Heritage” and “Environment,” to further elaborate the importance of wood being a part of our lives. We hope to encourage people to pay closer attention to their surroundings.
Through these photo contests, we would like to remind the public the importance and true value of wood and its responsible uses in our lives.
