“The APLD International Landscape Design Awards Program honors excellence in landscape design. The program brings exceptional talent to the attention of peers, potential clients and the world of design.
All entries will be part of an intensive multi-level screening process. A distinguished panel of experts judges the entries to select Gold, Silver and Bronze award recipients. Projects are judged on the basis of difficulty, craftsmanship, attention to detail, and specific criteria outlined in the awards entry packet. There are no set number of awards to be presented. Judges may select multiple Gold, Silver and Bronze awards in each category based on qualifying scores. Awards may or may not be given in every category.
Each entry category is evaluated independently. The type, size, and cost of the project will not be criteria for judging. The judging criteria totals 100 points.
Projects scoring 90 points or above will receive Gold awards.
Projects scoring between 80 to 89 points will receive Silver awards.
Bronze awards are given at the judges discretion for projects scoring between 75 and 79 points.
From the gold award winning entries, the judges will choose the 2016 APLD International Landscape Designer of the Year.
Awards will be announced in February 2016 and will be promoted to the media throughout the year.
Presentation of awards will take place during APLD's International Landscape Design Conference.

NEW! Details
This category recognizes a specific, constructed hardscape detail from a residential project. There is no dollar limit, the main criterion being that the detail be unique, creative, and unusual. However, focus on sustainable or repurposed materials, a challenged budget, and/or a high degree of difficulty would be particularly remarkable.
