Student Awards

Each year, the ASLA Student Awards give us a glimpse into the future of the profession. Award recipients are featured in Landscape Architecture Magazine, the magazine of ASLA, and in many other design and construction industry and general-interest media. Award recipients and their advisors are honored at the awards presentation ceremony during the ASLA Conference on Landscape Architecture.

Student Conference

Organized entirely by students, LABash is an annual landscape architecture conference hosted each year since 1970 by a different landscape architecture program in North America. The three-day conference features design workshops, lectures from professors and professionals, charrettes, and numerous networking events. ASLA is a proud sponsor of LABash!

Attend the ASLA Conference on Landscape Architecture. Rates are discounted for student members. Check with your local professional chapter to see if they are sponsoring students, too! Learn more about the profession at workshops, field sessions, and lectures. Mingle with the professionals and have fun at the tailgate party and other sponsored events.
