It celebrates the quality of built landscape design in its purest sense. It is for permanent sites above one hectare, which have created a new place or improved an old one. These could be public realm, parks, residential housing schemes, private, commercial or mixed-use. The scheme should be functional, useable, beautiful, and sensitive to its context.
