2011 UASLA Awards Official Entry Form
2011 Call For Entries
Participation in the awards program will help broaden professional boundaries, increase public awareness of the role of landscape architects, raise the standards of the discipline, and bring recognition to organizations and individuals who demonstrate superior skill in the practice and/or study of landscape architecture. A jury of qualified out-of-state professionals will review each submittal and determine winners in each award category. Winners will receive their awards and will be honored by having their work presented March 25, 2011 at the Utah ASLA 2011 Annual Conference at Utah State University in Logan, UT.
Award winning projects will also be featured in upcoming ASLA chapter newsletters, and will be used for displays promoting the profession.
Nomination Categories
You may submit entries under one or more of the following categories. The jury reserves the right to change the category of an entry in the judging process.
Communication
Communication Awards recognize original documents or tools of communication, which clearly convey information, technology, theory, or aspects of practice to those inside and/or outside the profession. This category may include text publication, exhibits, video, or other multimedia presentation. The landscape architect must have been directly involved in
the preparation of the communication document or tool.
Design
Design Awards recognize site-specific constructed works of landscape architecture where physical design, functional success, and aesthetic quality were the primary considerations. The landscape architect must have provided a full range of design and construction related services on the project.
Paper Landscape Architecture
Paper Landscape Architecture Awards recognize unrealized projects that propose innovative, visionary, or thought provoking solutions to landscape architectural problems. Projects in this category may include real projects that remain unbuilt due to
circumstances beyond the control of the landscape architect or speculative or polemical projects that explore alternative ways of thinking about landscape architecture.
Planning and Analysis
Planning and Analysis Awards recognize large-scale town, community, or regional plans that may lead to or guide subsequent site-specific design work, but do not include such work themselves. The landscape architect must have provided services central to process of the submitted project. Research Awards recognize original findings or solutions to problems of value to the profession. Submittals must provide evidence of an acceptable methodology that identifies, examines, researches, and provides a conclusion in the
subject matter. The landscape architect must have been the sole researcher, the director of a research team, or a partner in a research team to be eligible to submit work in this category.
