Open call for submissions of landscape images

Call for submissions: An open call for submissions of landscape images is open to landscape architects from across the globe.

For its 75th anniversary IFLA is producing a green book that will also contain several landscape typologies. IFLA is calling for submissions from landscape architects and allied professions across the globe to submit photographs of landscapes from your regions. So if you have landscape images whether they be a project you’ve done, somewhere you visited or somewhere much more local to you, we want to see them and we want to publish them in the 75th anniversary green book.

This is an open call for landscape architects, archeologists, architects, photographers and other allied professions to submit up to 3-5 images of any typology of landscapes, e.g designed landscapes, natural landscapes, historic sites, urban landscapes, agricultural landscapes, cultural landscapes, mixed landscapes.

Images that are selected will be published in the 75th anniversary green book. Images will also appear online on the website for promotional purposes. We want you to send your best images. We want work from both emerging and established professionals.
