faq

The awards are open to any member of the Interior Plantscape Association across Australia and New Zealand.

Entries are open Monday 31 July 2024 and close on Friday 27 September 2024. Winners will be published on the IPA website in early November and announced across our social media platforms.

Participants for small, medium and large installations are invited to submit up to twenty photos of an installation they have completed during 2023-24, accompanied by a written submission of up to 1,000 words.

Entrants will be charged a modest fee (plus GST) for each entry they submit.

Yes! Members are able to enter the awards more than once, provided each entry is for a new installation, or for sustainability.

This means that members can enter the same category more than once e.g. a member could submit entries for two separate small installations.

Members can also have multiple entries across different categories e.g. a member may submit entries into the small, medium large and/or sustainability categories if they choose.

The awards will be judged by an independent panel of horticultural and design experts. This will be a ‘blind’ judging process. As such, any content in either the photos or written submission that indicates who the entrant is will be removed before our judging panel receives each submission.

Yes absolutely! Over the coming weeks, we will be approaching those associated with the indoor plant hire industry (e.g. suppliers) to sponsor the awards. Sponsors will receive a range of benefits, including having their branding included prominently in all of the social media and other communications that are sent out throughout the year to members in relation to the awards.
