Memorial to African Americans Enslaved by William & Mary

The Lemon Project Committee on Memorialization (LPCOM), acting on behalf of William & Mary and its Board of Visitors, invites submissions for a design concept for a memorial to the men, women and children whose labor and lives William & Mary held in bondage from its founding until the Civil War. We seek a conceptual design for a physical memorial that establishes a new place of community and contemplation within or directly engaging with the setting of William & Mary's Historic Campus. By virtue of its scale, location, materials and narrative content, the conceptual design will create a noble and lasting tribute to the memory of the people who built and served the university.

August 28-October 12 Open for submission of design entries
September 14 Final questions due
Late-September Jury evaluation process begins

Prizes

There will be a first place prize of $1,000, a second place prize of $750, and a third place prize of $500. The Jurors may identify additional participants whose conceptual designs are recognized as "honorable mention" with no cash award.
