The NY Landscape Architecture Awards celebrates the harmonious integration of natural and built environments. This category is dedicated to the art and science of designing outdoor spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also sustainable and harmonious with the natural world. It includes a diverse range of projects, from the creation of serene public parks and gardens to the innovative redesign of urban green spaces and ecological habitats.
We pay tribute to the landscape architects, designers, and environmental planners whose vision and commitment shape our outdoor experiences. Their work goes beyond mere landscaping; it involves thoughtful consideration of ecology, culture, and community needs, resulting in spaces that foster well-being, environmental stewardship, and social interaction.
The NY Architectural Design Awards invites contributions from designers at all stages of their projects – whether in-progress, finalized, or purely conceptual. Winners are chosen based on the quality and materials of a single entry, not a collective portfolio, emphasizing the significance of each individual submission.
In the process of giving back to the contributions of proud designers, the award’s cost-effective entry fees offer all entrants with exceptional value for recognition at much lower fees. A $30 annual administrative fee is utilized for the first entry of each competition year, which covers expenses including printing, mailing, and data management. This ensures that the fees are kept consistent, bringing about greater value especially for those submitting multiple entries.
