What the Judges look for in a Winning Entry

The judges look for the highest standards within the landscape projects submitted, whether the focus is on construction, design, planting or maintenance. Innovative approaches, unusual solutions to overcoming a problem and exceptional level of craft skills are all highly valued.
 
The judges need to be able to assess the spatial and aesthetic qualities of the project, material selections, construction methods, attention to detailing and maintenance standard, as applicable to the different categories.
 
With the new system of online applications, thorough project documentation and photographs are even more important than in the past, including both before and after photos. In addition, video is also considered by the judges to be a powerful tool to demonstrate the spatial quality of design projects.
