Eligibility

Professional Awards

To enter the General Design, Residential Design, Analysis and Planning or Urban Design categories, the official entrant must be an Associate, Full, or International ASLA member, or eligible to join ASLA in one of those categories. The Research and Communications categories are open to non-landscape architecture professionals.

An official entrant in The Landmark Award category does not need to be a member of ASLA to enter. Local officials, public officials, and other interested individuals are welcome to enter a qualified project in this category.

For information on membership qualifications, please visit here or call 1-888-999-ASLA.

ASLA Affiliates are un-eligible to enter the General Design, Residential Design Analysis & Planning or Urban Design categories.

The jury process is “blind.” In other words, the identities of the entrant and creative team are not revealed to the jury. The only exception to this are entries in the Communications category. Members of the professional awards jury, as well as the firms, organizations, agencies, or employers they represent, are not eligible to enter the professional awards program.

ASLA retains the right to disqualify any entry that does not meet the program requirements or that presents a conflict of interest. In such cases, refunds will not be issued.
