Trophy Awards: Where Are The Judges?

Judging for the 2025 Trophy Awards Completed

All projects have been judged.

The judges’ first stop: Auburn, a historic mining camp that is now a California Historical Landmark. Their last stop: Compton, the birthplace of hip-hop and West Coast rap. Our two judges — both experienced and award-winning landscape contractors — travelled 2,053 miles in between these two stops in their search for excellence in California landscaping.

The judges’ findings will be announced at the gala Trophy Awards ceremony November 7 at the Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country. More info at clca.org/convention.
