New Landscape Architecture Prize joins crowded field of design awards

Seeking to draw attention to the often-overlooked field of landscape architecture, a Washington, D.C.-based advocacy group on Tuesday will announce its plans to establish an international landscape architecture prize that comes with $100,000.

The first award will be made in 2021, the Cultural Landscape Foundation said in a news release. The award will be conferred every two years to a living landscape architect or team for “creative, courageous, and visionary work.”
