Guidelines

 

The 1 October Memorial Committee (“1OMC”) invites anyone with creativity born out of their personal experience, anyone with an idea or design concept for a permanent memorial and any professional artist with interest in contributing to the creation of a memorial, but without the team necessary to participate in the RFQ process, to respond to the Call for Creative Expressions.

Please carefully review Introduction, Our Story, Project & Process Overview for important information and context before responding to Call for Creative Expressions - Intro & Overview.

• Release Date: July 1, 2022
• Submissions Due: October 31, 2022 (5:00 p.m. PT)

Everyone is invited to submit, regardless of age, relationship to the tragedy, location, or any other consideration. This unique participation pathway was designed with three intentions:

1. To encourage anyone to share creativity born out of their personal experience to inspire design team finalists and give the teams a sense of the emotions, feelings and perspectives within the impacted community.
2. To encourage anyone with a specific idea or design concept for a permanent memorial (or any aspect of a memorial) to share those ideas with design team finalists.
3. To encourage artists without the team necessary to participate in the RFQ process an opportunity to share with design team finalists their interest in contributing to the creation of a memorial.
