President's Awards

The President’s awards acknowledge those who advance the profession of Landscape Architecture through their time, dedication, passion and vision.

 

The NZILA President’s Awards which are presented at the annual President's cocktail evening  acknowledge those who advance the profession of Landscape Architecture through their time, dedication, passion and vision.

The President’s Awards can be conferred upon both NZILA members and non-members, individuals and groups/organisations.

Recipients are those who have gone above and beyond. Those recognised have engaged with a wide range of issues or who have worked diligently to provide benefits to and for the greater good of the profession.

The awards provide the opportunity to also recognise clients, other design disciplines and organisations that contribute to the development and promotion of Landscape Architecture.
