The WALP Northwest Premiere Landscape Awards Program recognizes outstanding performance by Washington Association of Landscape Professionals (WALP) members; foster personal and company pride in superior workmanship; publicize the Association and the Industry and encourage future business for WALP members.
A panel of experts representing the landscape industry judged the entries through digital presentations. Judges may be selected from the following landscape disciplines: Construction, Maintenance, Design, Irrigation, Horticulture and Education.
Award categories are Grand, Distinction and Merit. There is no set number to be awarded in any one category.
