Invitation

In order to encourage and recognize excellence in landscape architecture and to demonstrate to the public the variety, scope and value of landscape architectural services, the Pennsylvania Delaware Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects hereby invites your participation in the 2024 PA–DE ASLA Awards Program.

Eligibility

The Awards Program is open to all PA and DE registered Landscape Architects, full and associate members of the Pennsylvania-Delaware Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects, and faculty members currently teaching in PA and DE landscape architectural curriculum submitting work associated with their academic pursuits.

Jury

Other than projects submitted for the Landmark Award category, all projects completed in the past 15 years are eligible.
