Design Challenge:  The Peace Corps Commemorative Foundation (PCCF) is sponsoring a two-stage, national design competition to select an artistically exceptional design concept for a permanent commemorative work in the heart of Washington, DC.

 

The commemorative work will honor the enduring historic significance of the 1961 establishment of the Peace Corps and the fundamental American ideals and values embodied in Peace Corps and expressed in Peace Corps service.

 

The commemorative site is a visible triangle of federal parkland located near the U.S. Capitol Building and Capitol Grounds, the National Mall and Washington’s historic Union Station. The National Park Service (NPS) will maintain the commemorative work in perpetuity after construction is completed.
