2018 MDASLA Awards
The intent of the Annual Maryland ASLA Awards Program is to encourage professional excellence in Maryland and the Washington Metropolitan Area by recognizing significant completed as well as un‐built Landscape Architectural projects. The objective is to bring public attention to the outstanding services of landscape architects by honoring them with professional awards for projects that demonstrate a superior quality of design and execution.
Lifetime Achievement Award
This award was created to recognize outstanding contributions to the field of landscape architecture by our members. They can be for lifetime achievement, service, knowledge, research or any other related subject the MDASLA executive committee chooses to honor.
