We received some truly spectacular entries this year – more than 800, in fact. Our sincere thanks go out to all of you who submitted.
Our big winners
Congrats to the recipients of the three primary awards. We took our time deciding who would take home the “big 3” prizes. With so many great photos to sort through, we felt more than up to the task!

Cover Shot Award
The Cover Shot award is “first place,” if you will. This means the submitted project photo was too good to keep to ourselves, and we had to put that breathtaking work of art on display – on the cover of this year’s Land F/X brochure.

Trifecta Award
From concept to construction, every completed project is a cohesive story in its own right. The Trifecta award showcases each chapter of that story. From CAD files to SketchUp rendering and a photo of the finished project, this winning entry tells a tale for the ages!
