2025 Iowa ASLA Awards Program

The Iowa Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects is pleased to issue this formal Call for Entries for the 2025 Iowa ASLA Awards Program. Professional and Student Award Winners will be honored on Thursday, September 25th, 2025 at our Awards Gala. Expanding on last year’s success, we are including a keynote panel with LACES approved HSW credit available. More details about this year’s awards gala will be forthcoming.

Participation in the awards program helps broaden professional boundaries, increases public awareness of the role of landscape architects, raises the standards of the discipline, and brings recognition to organizations and individuals who demonstrate superior skill in the practice and/or study of landscape architecture. A jury of qualified professionals from the Michigan Chapter will review each submittal and determine winners in each award category.

Nomination Categories

Professionals and Students may submit in the following categories: Design (Built), Design (Unbuilt), Planning and Analysis, Research, and Communication. Only Professionals may submit in the Community Stewardship and Historic Preservation categories.
