Judging

A panel of industry professionals will be asked to select projects that accommodate hardscaping products in their inherent capacity to fulfill their role in establishing the landscape. Their decision will be made on overall excellence of design, creativity, functionality, selection and quality of hardscape materials, installation techniques, craftsmanship and finished appearance.

Participants will be informed by mail of the judges’ decision, and winners will be given adequate notice to receive their awards at an awards presentation sponsored by the WMA.

Presentation of Awards

An awards dinner will be held in Spring 2023. Selected images of the winning entries will be shown during the program. Details on the program will be provided to all participants.
