LI Awards 2023 open for submissions in 30th anniversary year

This year, the Landscape Institute Awards celebrates its 30th Anniversary – 30 years of celebrating people, place and nature, and the myriad ways that landscape projects can connect them.

Submissions are now open and, over the coming weeks, LI members will have the opportunity to submit their projects.

There are 17 categories this year for professionals and students. The LI welcomes a diverse range of submissions to exhibit the full spectrum of the landscape profession.

Last year, successful projects included B|D Landscape Architects’ Lovedon Fields, winners of the Outstanding Winner Award. The project included the creation of allotments, cycle paths, a village green, a biodiverse country park area and natural wildflower meadows to create a community space that helped encourage biodiversity on the edge of historic village, King’s Worthy.

Judges from bodies such as Historic England, Royal Horticulture Society and the Scottish Government selected 24 winners from a 75-project shortlist that featured developments from across the globe.

The 2022 LI Awards were presented by botanist and TV presenter James Wong with keynote speeches from Acting President Noel Farrer, Immediate Past President Jane Findlay and LI’s Chief Executive, Sue Morgan.

A host of sponsors will once again support the Landscape Institute awards this year including our headline sponsor, Hardscape, in addition to category sponsors, including: Vestre, Selux, Marshalls, Pegasus Group, Tobermore, Ground Control and Building with Nature. We would like to also thank our supporters: Blakedown Landscapes and WoodblocX.
