  Please Read Through the Disclaimers Below:

  • Best Practices: Please keep in mind the best practices for design awards submissions. Although it is up to the jury’s discretion about the success of the project, it is worth noting that projects in the past have been disqualified for the following reasons, and therefore should be considered before applying for the design awards:
    • Tree staking in the landscape
    • Landscaping not being established
    • Poor image composition
    • Too much focus on the architecture
    • Firm or designer’s name or imagery within the submission

  • Image Release: By submitting a project you acknowledge that ASLA Florida has the right to publish the project photographs and names/companies associated with the project, for use in their printed publications, social media, and website and submitters will receive no financial compensation.

  • Collaged Images: Collaged images may be submitted and count as 1 image in the submission if they are essential to capture detail / design elements of the project. The necessity for submitting collaged images remains up to Jury discretion in the review process. Please note that entries in the Research and Communication category allow for page and spread excerpts of planning documents, master plans, etc. to count as 1 collaged image.

  • Unbuilt Project Submissions: Unbuilt submissions that receive an ASLA Florida Design Award will not be able to resubmit for a Design Award once the project is built

  Please note, Student Awards will be announced separately.

  Our 2026 Annual Conference + Expo, held July 15–17 at the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Resort in Orlando, is themed Storyscapes: Weaving Narrative Into Place. This theme celebrates the role of landscape architects in shaping environments that tell stories, connect people, and strengthen our sense of place through innovation, collaboration, and stewardship.

  Conference sessions will spotlight cutting-edge approaches in AI and technology, nature-based solutions, water management, native plant materials, and natural resource stewardship. Together, we’ll explore how narrative-driven design can inspire resilience, advance the practice, and spark new ways of thinking.
