The city of Aschaffenburg is holding an art competition for the design of a memorial site in Schöntal Park in Aschaffenburg. The site is to be dedicated to the victims of a violent crime and at the same time create space for encounters, education and hope. The procedure is a restricted competition with three stages: (1) open application procedure with formal examination, (2) selection of eight participants by a panel, and (3) restricted competition in which the selected artists further develop their designs and submit a model. The jury then recommends a design for realization and the final decision is made by the city council.
The call is aimed at artists who develop works in public spaces.
The selected participants in the restricted competition procedure will receive a processing fee of €2,000 (gross) for submitting a model in line with the invitation to tender by the deadline.
Three prizes will be awarded: 1st prize – €7,000 / 2nd prize – €3,500 / 3rd prize – €1,500
A maximum of €200,000 (gross) is available for the realization of the artistic design. This sum includes the fee for artistic services, construction supervision, material, production/installation, delivery and assembly costs.
Application deadline: June 01, 2026
