ILASLA Awards 2008
The Call for Entries for the 2008 ILASLA Awards is here! Each year the Illinois Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects recognizes outstanding projects completed by individuals
or organizations located in the State of Illinois. These awards are given in an effort to raise standards of excellence, heighten public
appreciation of quality landscape architecture, and expand public awareness of the profession and ASLA. The award winners will
be recognized in an annual banquet, be published in the highly distributed folio awards book, as well as have the projects spotlighted
on this website.
Entry deadline has now passed. Good luck to all who entered.
The ILASLA Marketing Committee is officially launching the Marketing Committee Grant Program!
The goal of the Grant Program is to provide financial resources to develop grassroots projects that help implement the ILASLA Strategic Plan and advance the profession of landscape architecture. Though this program, associations and individuals may receive matching funds for projects through ILASLA. In line with the Strategic Plan, the project topic categories are Ethic, Policy, Practice, Information and Effectiveness. The guidelines and application are available on the ILASLA website under “News and Events.” Applications are accepted throughout the year and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
