  • 21-22 Artistry and Craftsmanship Award

    The “Artistry & Craftsmanship Award” highlights the “Best in Show” for a specific landscape feature. To make it even more exciting; each year the theme will change, such as “Fire”, “Water”, “Illumination”, and etc. For this first year, the theme will be… “FIRE”. This will be a separate application and judging process from the broader Excellence in Landscape Awards, and there is no time limit as to when the project was completed. So, if you’ve never entered a project before, it’s a great way to be part of the program. Fill out the simple entry form below and follow the instructions to submit your photographs. The entry fee is only $100 per submission. The winner receives a framed photo of their submission, social media recognition, images highlighted on the ILCA website with the other winners, and their project photographs displayed on the iLandscape show floor.
