Nominations for the Best Landscape Award for Private Property Development 2026 (the Award) organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) will close on May 18. Interested developer, management company, design company, owners' organisation, landscape or horticultural company of the property should grasp the opportunity to submit nomination, with prior consent from the owners' representative group of the property concerned. Entry to the competition is free of charge.
 
     The biennial Award is one of the LCSD's major activities to promote greening. It aims at commending private property developments that excel in landscape design and horticultural maintenance. The Award also aims to drive sustained environmental improvements in private property developments by encouraging private bodies to incorporate more high-quality green elements into the planning and management of horticultural projects of such developments.
 
     Entries must be properties and facilities located within the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The landscape and green areas of the entries must be for communal use or accessible to the public or residents. The competition is divided into six categories, including the Subsidised Sale Housing category, which is newly introduced this year. Please visit the LCSD's website www.lcsd.gov.hk/en/green/property/2026/index.html for details, and download the prospectus and nomination form.
 
     Each category features a Gold Award, Merit Award(s) and Environmental Efficiency Award(s). Additionally, a Supreme Gold Award has been introduced this year and will be presented to the most outstanding entry among all Gold Award winners.
