Open Categories

The LI Awards – one of the biggest events in the industry, celebrates people, place and nature, and the myriad ways that landscape projects can connect them. It celebrates spaces that people can be truly proud of.

The Open Category awards recognise exceptional work in landscape. They are open to any individual, organisation, employer, government, university or combination of groups to enter, but a Landscape Institute (LI), British Association Landscape Industries (BALI) and Society of Garden+Landscape Designers (SGLD) member must be part of the team being entered. However, neither member is required for the Dame Sylvia Crowe and Landscape Legacy Awards.

Standard Rates:
  • Open category award entries: £210 (ex VAT) per entry.
  • Discounted rate of £180 (ex VAT) per entry for LI members who are sole traders or work in the public or third sector (including voluntary groups, charities, and NGOs).

Entry Deadline: All submissions must be received by midnight on 30 April 2025.
