Recognizing the Finest of Our Profession

The FLASLA Design Awards Program encourages the advancement, expansion and recognition of the Landscape Architecture profession. As Landscape Architects, let us honor projects that blend environmental and artistic principles, emphasizing beauty, function, and the environment. These are the works of excellence that represent the value inherent in Landscape Architecture.

Professional Awards
While the projects may have been executed anywhere in the world, all projects shall be landscape architectural works executed by Florida Registered Landscape Architects, with a principal practice in Florida. Florida Registered Landscape Architects with a principal practice in another state may submit landscape architectural works; however, they must be works executed in Florida or Puerto Rico.

Student Awards
Eligible students must have been enrolled in a Landscape Architecture program at one of Florida’s Colleges or Universities during the 2006-2007 or 2007-2008 academic year. Students may enter one project per category, and may enter as individuals, Landscape Architecture Student teams, Interdisciplinary Student teams, or Student/Faculty collaborations. For team/collaboration entries, the student must clearly demonstrate his/her level of contribution.
