The People’s Choice Award competition is intended to raise the profile of the Australian Timber Design Awards participants within the general public and the built environment industry. We intend for participants, friends, family, and industry affiliates to cheer our Australian Timber Design Awards participants on and show their support for our Awards!

About the Award
The People’s Choice Award has been held annually since the year 2000 and is open yearly once the blind judging is completed for the Australian Timber Design Awards (ATDA). 
The People’s Choice Award have always included all the categories of the ATDA.

How do you enter the People’s Choice Awards?
The entry into the Award is part of the entry into the ATDA. ie. Active participants in the Australian Timber Design Awards are automatically included in this award.

Who will see your entry entry?
Your entry will be visible to anyone who visits the People’s Choice Award competition app page. This will include members of the public and anyone who you persuade to vote for you.

What information will a voter be able to see about your business?
We display only your project name and summary, and 6 of your photos submitted for the blind judging ATDA panel. 

How do you get people to vote for you?
We send out an e-announcement email to our eNewletter subscribers. You can subscribe to our eNewsletter here.

Our eNewsletter subscribers receive information about the link for the online People Choice Award competition page. This link is also advertised on our website when it is due to be made available.  

Use your social networks, email signature, website, etc. to encourage others to vote for you. The more work you put into persuading others to show their support, the more votes you are likely to get. We also encourage members of the public to vote and direct them to a list of all entries in the People’s Choice category. The only information these people will have about your business is what you write in your project summary entry, so make it as informative and interesting as possible. If you are the winner then your business name will be revealed in the Winners Gallery of the ATDA.

How many times can someone vote?
It is intended to have registered votes only. All voters will have to log in via social media to vote for your entry.

What happens if someone tries to vote twice for an entry?
It is not possible to click twice on the “vote” button but you can vote via your different social media profiles!

Can you vote for yourself?
It’s a fair guess that most entrants will vote for themselves, so why shouldn’t you?

Who knows who voted for whom?
You need to log in to vote via your Social Media account(s). Entrants have no idea who voted for them, or even how many votes they received. Even the administrators of the Australian Timber Design Awards only see a tally of votes which is meaningless, they see no personal details or anything else to identify you. The judges are not involved with and do not have access to any data about The People’s Choice Award.
