Last year’s AILDM student competition saw many outstanding entries. In previous issues of Landscape Outlook we have shown you the plans of our first and second prizewinners, Tamsin Edwards Francis and Mark Hill.
Winning third prize in this competition is an outstanding achievement considering the extremely high standard of entries. Donna Laing was a Certificate student from the Blue Mountains campus of the Western Sydney Institute of TAFE who was given special permission to enter, as usually the student must be studying for a Diploma as a minimum. Donna’s teacher saw the talent in her student and put forward a good case for her – and the result certainly supports her confidence.
