ENTRIES OPEN FOR THE 45TH BALI NATIONAL LANDSCAPE AWARDS 2021

BALI ’ s prestigious National Landscape Awards , the largest of their kind anywhere in Europe , return on Friday 3rd December 2021 and entries have now opened alongside several exciting new announcements for the 45th year .
Registered members can now submit their full entry online for the first time , ( including their submission pack ) thanks to a new entry system , alongside the returning postal option . Due to the effects of COVID-19 , Contractor , Designer and International members , for 2021 only , now also have the opportunity to submit a scheme that has achieved practical completion in the last 24 months , instead of the normal 12 months .
BALI ’ s Chief Executive Wayne Grills commented , “ This extension to the practical completion date now affords members more flexibility in what has been a difficult last 12 months . Alongside the option to submit online , we hope to see a wide variety of entries across all of our available categories this year .”
There are 33 categories in total , including a brand-new Nature Conservation and Biodiversity Enhancement category . The judges will be looking for projects that demonstrate a significant contribution to conservation or enhancement of biodiversity , embodying the principles of sustainable development using innovative concepts .
The team at Landscape House have produced an Entry Guidelines document , which contains information on each category , the
deadlines and fees and what the judges are looking for in an awardwinning scheme or entry .
To help further , members looking to enter are invited to join representatives of the judging panel for a free-to-attend Awards Workshop webinar on 25th March from 3pm-4.30pm . The event will provide an opportunity for members to ask questions about entering , as well as how the judges evaluate and score the submission packs and advice on photography and video . Non-members who are interested in entering and would like to know more about BALI are also welcome to join .
