Industry professionals have until Friday, August 28, to submit nominations for the Pro Landscaper USA Rising Star Award, now in its second year. The program recognizes emerging talent within the landscaping, design and outdoor construction sectors across the United States.

Established in 2025, the award was created to highlight individuals who are driving transformation, upholding high standards of excellence and introducing innovative approaches to outdoor spaces. Organizers note that the initiative aims to bring visibility to up-and-coming professionals whose work is shaping the future of the industry.

There is no fee to enter. Nominees will be invited to receive their honors at FutureScape USA, a professional landscaping exhibition scheduled for September 1–2 at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California.
