Parkland 17 Memorial Design Competition

The Parkland 17 Memorial Foundation is inviting art and design professionals to submit conceptual design proposals for a memorial to the 17 victims of the massacre which took place on February 14, 2018, at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

Memorial Design: The memorial will honor and pay tribute to the 17 individuals who were murdered, as further described in the attached report compiled by the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission. It will serve as a place where all are welcome to mourn or peacefully reflect, especially families, friends, and residents of the Parkland and Coral Springs communities. The memorial will be open during daylight hours and some evenings, and may serve as a gathering place for events held to remember the victims.

Memorial design considerations:

• The memorial will respond to the site and the natural environment, in appearance and through the selected materials.
• Seating and landscaping should be included in the design and provide pedestrian access between the parking area and the memorial.
• The memorial should be accessible by and will comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
• The memorial should require only moderate maintenance, able to withstand the Florida environment, and comply with the Florida building code.
• Water, fountains, and lighting may be included in the design.
• The memorial will incorporate a tribute to each victim. 

Applications must be submitted via the Submittable website: Broward County Cultural Division Submission Manager (submittable.com)
