Community Service Award Rules and Entry Instructions

  • The Community Service Award recognizes individual landscape architects, landscape architecture firms, landscape architecture education programs, or ASLA Chapters for pro bono service to the community over a period of at least five years.
  • Nominations may be submitted by an individual, a firm, an ASLA Chapter, or other organization or agency.

Entry Instructions

  • All submission materials must fit into the official entry binder provided by ASLA. The binder contains 24 views in 8.5” x 11” format. The jury will not remove any items that are oversized or behind other items. Additional material not included in the binder views will be discarded.
  • Entries for this award may reveal the name of the nominee. The nominator, however, should only be listed on the Community Service Concealed Identification and Credit Form (.doc).
  • Entrants are responsible for clearing photographs with photographers for publication and reproduction by ASLA. ASLA will provide proper photography credit when using photos, but will not assume responsibility for any copyrights or photography fees.
  • Binder covers may not be altered in any manner.

Entry binders should contain the following items:

  1. Descriptive Data Summary: Complete the form and place the two (2) pages so that they show as the first two views of the Entry Binder. Community Service Descriptive Data Summary Form (.rtf)
  2. Drawings and Photographs:
    • Please submit at least five (5), but no more than ten (10) total drawings and/or photographs, in both hard copy and electronically on a CD-ROM (see details below).
    • Hard copy drawings and photographs must be 8” x 10” in either landscape or portrait format. No collages or smaller format photos will be considered.
  3. Descriptions of Drawings and Photographs: On a separate, one-page, typed sheet, please provide one or two sentences describing each drawing and photo. Place the sheet in the view immediately following the photos in the Entry Binder.
  4. Concealed Identification and Credit Form: Complete the Community Service Concealed Identification and Credit Form (.doc) and attach to the front cover of the Entry Binder with a paperclip (please do not staple).
  5. Copy of Submission on CD-ROM [required]:

    • The Descriptive Data Summary, descriptions of drawings and photographs, and Concealed Identification and Credit form should be saved in a word processing application (such as rich text format, MS Word, WordPerfect, WordPad, etc.).
    • Photographs and drawings must be stored in JPEG format and the dimensions should be 3000 pixels x 2400 pixels, at a minimum of 300 ppi (pixels per inch). Label each image with your Entry Binder number and the number of the image. For example, if your entry number is “123,” you will label your JPEG files as 123-01, 123-02, 123-03, and so on.
