The total budget for the project must not exceed the category limit (£35,000 excluding vat for all but three categories – Planting Design, Special Feature and Best Use of Technology). We also need the completed forms to be sent to us by 26 August 2022.

In terms of the criteria for judging, we look at your understanding of the client’s brief, how you overcame challenges this project provided, the hard and soft elements of the project, feedback from your client and any prominent features/materials used in the project.
