The landscape through my window competition
The Landscape department of the Universidad Católica de Córdoba (Argentina), together with the Latin American Landscape Initiative (LALI) —in the framework of the World Landscape Architecture Month (WLAM) — summon professionals or amateurs to the visual arts, illustration or design in all its fields, to participate in THE LANDSCAPE THROUGH MY WINDOW artistic competition.

The objective is to provide a space to express and share our landscapes from the condition of confinement (physical, mental, emotional), within the framework of this global health crisis, in connection with the environment in which each person lives, from a landscape perspective and with an environmental projection.
