Landscape Institute announces 2021 LI Awards entries are open

On 29th April the Landscape Institutes Awards 2021 entries has opened for submission, welcoming everyone from the industry to submit their projects and be recognised for their outstanding achievements in landscape.

The LI Awards are all about celebrating people, place and nature, and the myriad ways that landscape projects can connect them. The transformative power of landscape is never more important than in times of crisis. Our sector is tackling the foremost challenges of our age. Through their everyday work, landscape professionals improve physical and mental health and wellbeing, promote sustainability, build resilience to climate change, and help address the biological diversity crisis.

Building on the success of the 2020 Landscape Institute Awards, LI Awards 2021 will do more than ever before to celebrate the exceptional contribution of landscape designers, managers, planners, researchers and more across the world. The Awards entries will be recognised for the outstanding achievements in landscape, being judged against four main criteria: Sustainability, Value, Professionalism and Design aspects.

This year, the Awards includes 15 Professional categories, covering all aspects of practice; 5 Open categories for all landscape professionals to enter; Building with Nature National Award; 2 Student Awards; 2 Member Accolades and the President Awards for the Best Landscape Scheme of the Year.

The finalists will be announced in September and the winners will be announced at the Awards Ceremony in November, celebrating the brightest and the best from the sector. Headline Sponsor of the LI Awards 2021 – Hardscape
