KEY UPDATES to THIS YEAR’S PROGRAM Based on feedback from past entrants and judging committees, several updates have been made to this year’s program. • Before and after photos: New this year, entrants are strongly encouraged to include “before” images along with finished project photos. This will become a mandatory requirement starting in 2026, so now’s the time to build this habit into your documentation process. • New Special Projects category: To provide fairer evaluation, a new category has been introduced for unique or non-traditional work, such as pool installations with no softscape component. Previously submitted under construction, these projects were often penalized due to softscape accounting for 25 per cent of the score. The new category removes this element to better reflect the project's strengths. • Green Stamp criteria refined: Green Stamp recognition will now be limited to only design projects, in line with its focus on environmentally responsible planning. • Top legacy awards: Top-scoring projects overall
Each year, Landscape Ontario’s Awards of Excellence program honours the industry’s most outstanding achievements in design, construction, maintenance and more. With online entry now open for this year’s program, members are encouraged to start planning ahead by capturing high-quality photos of your latest project and reviewing some exciting new updates to this year’s categories. Open only to Landscape Ontario members, the awards program celebrates outstanding skill, creativity and professionalism. Winning an award is a powerful way to promote your business, earn peer recognition, acknowledge your team and raise the bar for landscape excellence across Ontario.
