The World Landscape Architecture (WLA) organization has announced an extension of the entry deadline for the 2026 WLA Awards, responding to numerous requests from participants citing conflicts with holidays and festivals. Celebrating outstanding work from around the world, the WLA Awards emphasize innovation and sustainability in landscape architecture.

The new submission deadline for both the Professional and Student Awards is May 8, 2026, at 11:59pm. Honolulu time.

Registration for the awards will remain open until the same cutoff time. However, organizers recommend that participants complete their registration two to three days prior to the deadline to ensure receipt of a required entry number.

For those planning to submit multiple entries, registration for bulk submissions (more than one) will close earlier on May 6, 2026, at 11:59pm. Honolulu time. After that point, only single registrations will be available for purchase. The organization cited the need to prevent potential delays or technical issues in the distribution of entry numbers ahead of the final submission cutoff.
