Flight 93 National Memorial

National Park Service, USA

Type: Open, two-stage
Registration Deadline: December 27, 2004
Submission Deadline: January 11, 2005
Open to: All
Entry Fee: US$25
Awards: Design Commission
Jury: To be announced

You are invited to:
- Honor the heroes of Flight 93-the 40 passengers and crew who on one September morning changed the course of history…
- Contribute to the dialogue of what a national memorial should be.
- Conceive a message that will reflect on the event that occurred on September 11, 2001 and be timeless in its power and conviction.

It is hoped that through this competition process, a design will be discovered that embodies the spirit of the Flight 93 Mission Statement and is a fitting memorial to those 40 individuals who chose to make a difference.
The Partners of the Flight 93 Memorial Project collectively are sponsoring this Design Competition: the Families of Flight 93, the Flight 93 Advisory Commission, the Flight 93 Memorial Task Force and the National Park Service are collaborating to extend this invitation to you.

The competition will be carried out in two stages and is open to professionals in the design and art disciplines as well as the public.
Individuals or teams may register for a nonrefundable fee of $25. All Stage I submittals will be presented as a concept on a single board and will be judged anonymously (without the jury knowing the name of the entrant).

The Stage I Jury will select three to five finalists who will advance to Stage II and participate in a Site Master Plan Workshop. The finalists will receive a $25,000 honorarium each to further develop their concept and present it with additional drawings and a three-dimensional model. The Stage II Jury will recommend a winning concept to the Flight 93 Advisory Commission, which then presents the recommendation to the Secretary of the Interior and to Congress.

The author of the winning submittal will be invited to negotiate a contract with the National Pak Service for final design of the winning concept.

Both juries will be composed of distinguished professionals, family members, and the public from local and international communities.
