2022 Awards reminder

Landscape architects have just over a month to enter the Resene New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architecture Awards 2022.

Entries opened late November and will close on the 28th of January next year.

NZILA President Henry Crothers is urging members to enter and says he is expecting a great awards programme next year. “We have new categories and have fine tuned existing categories,” he says.

D.J. Scott Associates won the Enduring Landscape category at the 2017 Resene New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architecture with the Waiheke Island Western Entrance Headland project.

The award winners will be announced at a Gala Dinner on Friday 27th May 2022 at the Cordis Hotel in Auckland, part of the Institute's conference and 50th anniversary celebrations.

The NZILA awards programme began in 1987. The inaugural George Malcolm winner was the Ministry of Works and Environmental Design Section for its Christchurch Girls’ High School project. The Landscape Journal Issue 32/33 won the first Charlie Challenger award for landscape in the written form.

The Institute is proud of the programme which is designed to raise the profile of the landscape architecture profession while providing members and the Institute an opportunity to celebrate and reward excellence. The Resene New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architecture Awards categories are structured as follows:

The Landscape Journal Issue 32/33 was the inaugural winner of the NZILA Charlie Challenger Award in 1987.
