2018 IFLA Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe Award
Call for Nominations
BRIEF
The Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe Award is the highest honor that the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA) can bestow upon a landscape architect. The Jellicoe Award recognizes a living landscape architect whose achievements and contributions have had a unique and lasting impact on the welfare of society and the environment and on the promotion of the profession of landscape architecture. The award is bestowed annually on an individual whose work and achievements merit this recognition.
SCHEDULE
Deadline March 1, 2018
Candidate Selection
The award recipient will be identified through a nomination and jury selection process.
In agreeing to be nominated, nominees, in the event of winning the award, must present a lecture on their work at the IFLA World Congress, and/or other suitable fora, and travel to the 2018 IFLA World Congress in Singapore from July 18–21, 2018, to accept the award. A candidate may be nominated for the award up to 3 times in succeeding years, and may be nominated again after a break of 2 years.
JURY
The Awards Jury comprises 5–7 members—a chair and at least one member from each region of IFLA. The World Council may appoint a “guest member” from an allied profession for a 1-year term. The jury adopts its own working procedures, establishing criteria for assessment in terms of the purpose of the award and the categories of nominations. Upon completion of their work, the jury submits a written report to the IFLA president. The report and its result remain confidential until the award winner has been officially announced by the IFLA president at the 2018 IFLA World Congress.
