July 21 is deadline for Stage I design entries

Less than one week remains for competitors to submit entries for Stage I of the Design Competition for the National World War One Memorial in Washington DC. The deadline for entries is Tuesday July 21.

The selected memorial site is Pershing Park, located on Pennsylvania Avenue between 14th and 15th Streets NW.

The competition is a two-stage design competition, and is an open, international competition -- open to any professionals, university-level students, or any other interested participants.

In the first stage, participants will submit narrative and graphic descriptions of a design concept responding to the competition’s design goals.

Three to five submissions from Stage I will be selected as finalists, and those entries will be further refined and developed in Stage II.

Both stages of the competition will be evaluated by a jury of individuals representing the worlds of government, the military, the arts, and the citizens of Washington DC. The Commission selected the jurors and will have final decision on the selected design, based on the recommendation of the jury.
