Orange County Crime Victims’ Memorial Design Competition

Design Competitionl for the Crime Victims’ Memorial

Description
In observation of 2013 National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, the County of Orange, the Orange County Board of Supervisors and OC Parks are sponsoring a competition for the design of a new Crime Victims’ Memorial to be installed at a beautiful site within William R. Mason Regional Park. The goal of this competition is to identify an outstanding artistic compliment to the landscape of the park, to create an iconic gathering space that will provide visitors with a space for contemplation, remembrance, and healing. The winning design will be inherently egalitarian and human-scale, expressing the cross-cultural and inter-generational impact of crime on members of our community.
