10th Annual Wayne Grace Memorial Student Design Competition

$3,000 Cash Award Awaits Winner of the 10th Annual Wayne Grace Memorial Student Design Competition

The Landscape Architectural Registration Boards Foundation announces the 10th Annual Wayne Grace Memorial Student Design Competition. This competition recognizes outstanding examples of landscape architectural work by students that demonstrate how the practice of landscape architecture and licensing affects quality of life.

The competition is open to any student or team of students currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate Landscape Architectural Degree Program. Submissions may pertain to any project which affects the natural and built environment and has a demonstrated, positive impact on the quality of life of the public. In prior years, a number of landscape architecture programs have successfully incorporated the competition into their academic curriculum. The Foundation invites programs at universities and colleges from around the country to consider taking part in this competition.

Submissions will be accepted January 2, 2009 through May 29, 2009, and three winning submissions will be chosen. The first-place winner will receive a $3,000 cash award and will be recognized during an awards ceremony at CLARB’s Annual Meeting in September 2009. The second-place winner will receive a $2,000 cash award, and the third-place winner will receive a $1,000 cash award. The winning submission(s) are published nationally and distributed to legislators and related design professionals across North America.

Few people who regularly use the facilities designed by landscape architects realize how the quality of their lives is improved by the licensed professional’s work. To improve the understanding of these issues and to demonstrate the importance of landscape architecture and licensure, the Foundation sponsors this annual design competition, which commemorates Wayne Grace, who dedicated his life to the practice of landscape architecture and the advancement of the cause of licensure.
