The American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC), the leading international trade association for the American hardwood industry, has invited architects and designers to nominate projects for the Commercial Interior Design (CID) Awards 2015.

AHEC is sponsoring the ‘Outstanding use of American hardwoods in the Middle East’ category at the ninth edition of the awards to be held next month (September 16) at the JW Marriott Marquis Hotel in Dubai, UAE.

As in previous years, the award in this category is open to any project with the only criteria being that US hardwoods are an integral part of the project, said AHEC.

“The CID Awards is a well-established event for the design sector and our continued association with it will allow us to throw the spotlight on American hardwoods in the Middle East,” said Roderick Wiles, AHEC regional director.
