The Connecticut Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects has announced the winners of its annual Connecticut Professional Awards competition. To be eligible, applicants must be a landscape architect or designer in the state of Connecticut, and the entrant or project location must be based in Connecticut.

CTASLA also included Student Awards this year for the first time, inviting students from the Landscape Architecture program at the University of Connecticut to submit scholastic work for peer review.

"Our community is filled with energetic, resourceful, and passionate practitioners," said Oliver Gaffney, president of CTASLA and a landscape architect at TPA Design Group in New Haven. "The diversity of projects submitted speaks to the capacity of landscape architects to be communicators, educators, advocates, and problem solvers in communities all across the state."
