Eligibility
Please note new eligibility requirements for 2009.
PROFESSIONAL AWARDS
To enter the General Design, Residential Design, or Analysis and Planning categories, the official entrant must be a professional member of ASLA as an Associate, Full, or International member, or must be qualified to join ASLA in one of those categories. See Research, Communications, and the Landmark Award categories for specific eligibility. The non-member fee includes a one-year membership in ASLA.* For information on membership qualifications, please visit www.asla.org or call 1-888-999-ASLA.
The jury process is “blind.” In other words, the identities of the entrant and creative team are not revealed to the jury. Members of the Professional Awards Jury, as well as the firms, organizations, or agencies 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.
STUDENT AWARDS
The official entrant must be a Student or Student Affiliate member of ASLA, or must be qualified to join ASLA in either of those categories in order to enter. Official entrants must provide proof of registration as a student (such as a copy of a current student identification card) during the 2008 or 2009 school year.
With the exception of the Student Collaboration category, student entries may be individual or team efforts. For all categories, all team members must be Student or Student Affiliate ASLA members in good standing (or must join ASLA) in order to enter. The non-member fee includes a one-year membership in ASLA.* A list of all team members must be submitted with the entry form.
The jury process is “blind.” In other words, the identities of the entrant and creative team are not revealed to the jury. Members of the Student Awards Jury will recuse themselves from judging any entries with which they have a conflict of interest (for example, a juror who teaches in a landscape architecture program will not judge entries submitted by students from that 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.
*The non-member entry fee provides a one-year membership in ASLA, including a subscription to Landscape Architecture magazine and any applicable ASLA Chapter dues. Non-members entering multiple projects may pay the non-member fee for the first entry and the member fee for any additional entries.
