NJLCA LANDSCAPE ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS
You are invited to enter the 9th Annual Landscape Achievement Awards program sponsored by the New Jersey Landscape Contractors Association.

The Awards program is designed to reward landscape professionals who execute quality landscaping projects.

In sponsoring the Awards program, NJLCA strives to increase public awareness of environmental improvement through quality landscaping, and to encourage the landscape contractor's consistent use of quality materials and workmanship.

ELIGIBILITY
An entrant must be professionally engaged in, and responsible for, the installation and/or maintenance of grounds described in entry CATEGORIES and AWARDS.

Any size landscape for which the entrant has the main responsibility for maintenance and beautification may be entered. The amount of money in the landscape operating budget is not a criterion for judging. Rather, the judges will consider the quality, challenge and performance in maintenance of the grounds for a period of at least two years, beginning at least two years after construction.

All commercial landscape firms which devote a major part of their operation to Landscape Contracting or Landscape Maintenance are eligible to participate in the Awards program.

Each entry must be accompanied by a fee (members $100, nonmembers $ 150). There is no limit on the number of entries per firm. Finally, projects may only be entered in one category per year.

ENTRY CATEGORIES
Landscape projects on which the entrant has executed the major portion of the work may be entered for judging in one of the following categories. Projects may only be entered in one category per year.
  • Residential Design/Build
  • Residential Landscape Maintenance
  • Commercial Design/Build
  • Commercial Landscape Renovation

  • School or University Grounds Landscape Maintenance

Each of the entry categories will be evaluated independently. A jury of experts in these respective fields will judge the entries. Work will be judged primarily on the quality of work performed, including coordination of work performed, quality of materials and workmanship, and overall appearance.
