The competition is open to carpentry apprentices of all ages, and entrants do not have to work for a master builder or be trained by a specific training provider to enter.
A competition spokesperson said apprentices were the sector’s future leaders, and the competition would give entrants a chance to test their project management, business, presentation and practical skills.
Beyond the competition itself, entrants would gain exposure to industry leaders, connect with like-minded apprentices and take their careers to the next level.
Plus, all completed entries would receive a Carters gift pack.
The national award winner would take home a $5000 Career Advancement Grant and enjoy the use of a new ute for a year.
Entries to the competition close on Sunday, April 13.
