The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF), a Washington, D.C.-based education and advocacy non-profit established in 1998 with a mission of “connecting people to places,” created the Cornelia Hahn Oberlander International Landscape Architecture Prize. The biennial Oberlander Prize, first awarded in 2021, includes a monetary award of $100,000 and two years of public engagement activities that will raise the visibility of the honoree's work and of landscape architecture more broadly. It is bestowed on a recipient who is “exceptionally talented, creative, courageous, and visionary” and has “a significant body of built work that exemplifies the art of landscape architecture.”
The 2023 laureate, Kongjian Yu, was announced on October 17, 2023. The inaugural laureate, Julie Bargmann, was announced on October 14, 2021.
