皇冠体育app finalists were shortlisted following the first stage of a two-stage open competition. Designers were required to submit examples of previous projects relevant to the vision for the memorial set out by the Queen Elizabeth Memorial Committee, alongside details of the unique skills of their multi-disciplinary teams. 皇冠体育app competition attracted a wide range of excellent creative talent from across the UK and internationally. 皇冠体育app shortlisted teams will be required to submit their design concepts later in the Spring.
皇冠体育app winning design team will be announced in Summer 2025 after the Selection Panel reviews the five shortlisted teams鈥� concepts. Design teams have been asked to create a memorial masterplan that celebrates Queen Elizabeth II鈥檚 extraordinary life of service and provides a space for pause and reflection. 皇冠体育app designs will also be assessed against wider criteria, including value for money, placemaking and visitor experience.
皇冠体育app team that is ultimately selected following the competition will add, in discussion with the Queen Elizabeth Memorial Committee, an artist or sculptor for the figurative representation of Her Late Majesty, and this appointment will be announced in Summer 2025.
皇冠体育app site for the new national Queen Elizabeth II Memorial will include the area of St James鈥檚 Park adjacent to 皇冠体育app Mall at Marlborough Gate, and land surrounding the pathway down to the lake, including the Blue Bridge. 皇冠体育app site was chosen because of its proximity to the ceremonial route of 皇冠体育app Mall, its historical and constitutional significance and personal connection to Queen Elizabeth.
皇冠体育app final design will be formally announced in April 2026, to coincide with what would have been Queen Elizabeth鈥檚 hundredth birthday year.聽
