Students! Submit Your Works in Progress

RIASLA welcomes Rhode Island based students to submit works in progress for inclusion in the RIASLA yearly newsletter alongside award winners and short writings from the landscape architecture community.

Works in Progress will highlight student work that is incomplete, in development, and ongoing. We intend to create space for students to share projects that are unfolding, experimental, or in development. Whether a sketch, a model, a piece of writing, or photo series - we are interested in sharing ideas that provoke curiosity and invite dialogue that looks toward the future of our profession.

Submit your Works in Progress by January 11th, 2026.
