ASLA Award Call for Entries
Before You Begin
Overview
Every year, ASLA Colorado/Wyoming conducts an awards program to recognize professional excellence by its members in the practice of landscape architecture. The ASLA CO/WY chapter models its awards program on the ASLA National awards program, and encourages entrants to submit to both.
Timeline
A Call for Entries is typically issued in May, with a submission deadline in July. Entries are then judged by an ASLA chapter outside of Colorado, and projects are awarded at the chapter’s annual gathering and celebration, typically held in September. Award-winning projects are displayed on the chapter’s website and are also used in advocacy campaigns and at public events.

Entry Start Date: May 1, 2024 12:00 am MDT
