The design of Montgomery County’s memorial to the events of Sept. 11 will be selected from a public competition. Individuals, or groups of artists and landscape architects, are invited to submit designs for the memorial that should include recognition of the 11 Montgomery County residents who lost their lives during the attacks.
As envisioned by the county’s Committee on a Memorial for the Victims and Heroes of Sept. 11, the permanent memorial will represent the “Lasting” component of the “Living, Learning, Lasting” theme established by the committee.
The memorial will be located in Courthouse Square Park in the heart of Rockville on a site donated by the City of Rockville.
Submissions must be postmarked by Oct. 21 and semi-finalists will be notified in early November. Call public art consultant Francoise Yohalem at 301-816-0518 or visit www.mcrd.net and click on “Call to Artists.”
