KORO - Public Art Norway invites artists and architects to submit expressions of interest to an international call to design a permanent national memorial for the 22 July 2011 terrorist attacks.
Norway’s Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development (KDD) has commissioned KORO to develop a preliminary project for the permanent national memorial in the Government Quarter in central Oslo. This commission shall be implemented as an open call for expressions of interest, followed by a subsequent invited competition consisting of two stages.
Ten participants will be selected for the invited competition. Participants can be individual people or groups. The competition phase will take place from January 2024 to spring 2025. Participants invited to the invited competition will develop a proposal for a permanent memorial at Johan Nygaardsvold Plaza, next to the entrance pavilion of the 22 July Centre.
The ten participants selected for stage one of the competition will each receive 90,000 NOK (~7800 EUR). The three participants in stage two of the competition will each receive NOK 100,000 (~8650 EUR). The winning proposal will be implemented within a budget of 50 million NOK (~4.3 million EUR). The amounts are fixed regardless of whether the participant is an individual or a group. Travel and board for mandatory meetings will be covered. If the participant is a group, travel and board will only be covered for one person per group.
