For the first time ever, the winning projects in this year’s ILI Design Awards will face a public vote to decide the People’s Choice Award. The 11th ILI Design Awards give recognition to exemplary landscape projects by ILI members in the Republic and Landscape Institute members from Northern Ireland (LINI) across a range of categories.

Winners of the Irish Landscape Institute Design Awards 2020 [plus Highly Commended and commended winners] in each category were announced early in October. President of the Irish Landscape Institute, Kevin Halpenny, stated that “Since its establishment, the ILI has raised standards of landscape design in Ireland. The Institute is committed to pioneering new approaches in Ireland to environmental planning and design. We are delighted that we have an internationally recognised judging panel to help select from world-leading projects. We welcome the support of our sponsors, Hardscape Ireland, Bord Bia, Hartecast, UCD, and OPW.”

The winning projects will be on display in St Stephens Green Dublin following the awards in October and November for the public to view and vote for their favourite project (People’s Choice Award) in cooperation with the Office of Public Works (OPW) and supported by Hardscape Ireland.
