The award commemorates the outstanding contributions to IFLA of the President of Honour Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe of Great Britain (1900–96) who served IFLA as founding president from 1948–54. Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe was a leading landscape architect with a career spanning almost 70 years. Jellicoe was a trained architect, but his prime interest was in landscape architecture. Jellicoe’s rich career enabled the creation of many inspiring projects, from Cheddar Gorge to the Kennedy Memorial at Runnymede, thought to be one of his greatest works. He was a founding member, as well as president of the British Institute of Landscape Architects. He was knighted for services to landscape architecture in 1979. In 1994 he was awarded the Royal Horticultural Society's highest award, the Victoria Medal of Honour.
