IFLA Global Landscape Architecture (GLA) Awards open for submissions

The IFLA Global Landscape Architecture (GLA) Awards are now open for submissions.

These awards celebrate projects that are tackling some of the world’s biggest challenges. Whether you are restoring a watershed in the Andes, creating a child-friendly street in Copenhagen, or shaping climate policy in Lagos, your work deserves recognition.

Why Submit

  • 18 Diverse Categories:
    We are moving beyond aesthetics to recognise 18 distinct facets of the profession, including Climate Action, Indigenous Knowledges, Urban Health, Heritage, and Food Systems.
  • A Lasting Legacy:
    Winning entries will form the foundation of the IFLA Hub — a rich database of case studies designed to influence global research, advocacy, and policy-making.
  • The Global Stage:
    The program culminates in a prestigious Awards Gala in Hong Kong during the IFLA World Congress.
