2. LILA for landscape architecture offices

2.1 General

2.1.1 Entrant must be authorized to register the project and the digital material for LILA

2.1.2 Offices can submit one or more built projects to one or more categories

2.1.3 There are no submissions for the “Office Award” category. Offices presented on Landezine will be considered for the Office Award automatically.

2.1.4 the entrant can submit any number of projects that are built (last phase) in 2020 or later. The exception is the ‘revisited’ category, where the last phase of the project needs to be built before 2010.

2.1.5 Project categories are not definitive. The jury is instructed to only award outstanding quality only and to try to find it within project categories. The jury reserves the right not to give LILA in one or more categories if the jurors think it is not possible due to a lack of quality. Members of the jury may establish new categories or/and give new award titles if they think it is necessary (rare landscape typologies like cemeteries, memorials, exhibitions, multi-media projects etc.)

2.1.6 Landezine editors will select the Office Award, Honour Award and Portfolio Award. The jury will be evaluating built projects.

2.1.8 In project categories, LILA is awarded to projects. That means that other designers involved in the design of the recognized project will share the honorary award title. In the Landscape And Architecture category, the honorary title will be shared between landscape architects and architects.

2.2 Registration and the fee for offices

2.2.1 Offices need to register and pay the registration fee before the registration deadlines. The fee is 150 euros before the first ‘early bird’ deadline, 200 euros before the regular deadline and 250 euros before the final registration deadline.

2.2.2 Projects that have been recognized (shortlisted, mentioned, awarded) in the past, can not be recognized again by LILA. Projects that were sent to past LILA editions and were not recognized may be submitted again and anew.

2.2.3 The fee is per entry. One entry means one project. The fee multiplies with the number of submitted projects.

2.2.4 Entries must be submitted by the submission deadline regardless of the date of registration. There is one submission deadline for all participants. That means that entrants may register early to catch the low fee and submit material on or before the submission deadline.

2.2.5 The fee is non-refundable. Registered offices that fail to submit the material by the submission deadline will not receive a refund nor a voucher for the next LILA edition. The fee will only be returned if the LILA competition is cancelled or if there is a clear indication that a disqualifying error was made by the LILA organizing team.

2.2.6 If the registration fee paid by the entrant is below the necessary fee for the number of submitted entries, the jury will only take into consideration the number of projects that the paid fee covers, picked from the submission material in alphabetical/numerical order.

2.2.7 Registration fee paid via bank transfer should arrive at Landezine’s bank account no later than five working days after the registration deadline. For late transactions, Landezine may request official bank-issued proof of payment from offices where the date of payment will need to be clearly indicated.

2.2.8 If the registration fee is overpaid by the entrant by accident, the entrant must inform Landezine within 48 hours from the time of the payment and only in this case will Landezine refund the overpaid funds.

3.5 Landezine editors reserve the right not to award or in any way recognize portfolios if they think the quality is not sufficient, complete or composed according to the instructions and for any other reason.

3.6 If it turns out later that the entrant was not eligible to enter the competition, the portfolio in question will be disqualified, and the registration fee will not be returned.

3.7 Shortlisted portfolios – pdf booklets will be published on the LILA website, and all information included in the pdf booklet will be publicly visible. LILA doesn’t require entrants to include their contact information in the pdf unless they wish to do so.
