The Flight 93 National Memorial design was selected through an open international design competition that invited artists, architects, individuals, and designers from all nations to submit their ideas. The Flight 93 Partners adopted a two-stage design competition process. Out of 1,059 design submissions, five design finalists were selected during Stage I and were reviewed and evaluated by a jury comprised of family members, local leaders, and design and art professionals. The chosen design, selected from the finalists’ Stage II entries, was announced on September 7, 2005, in Washington, D.C.  The Flight 93 National Memorial will be a place for individuals to learn about the events of September 11, 2001, and find meaning and inspiration in their experience. By enhancing the expansive natural landscape and the monumental scale of the site, this beautiful and carefully considered memorial tells the story of the extraordinary acts of the passengers and crew of Flight 93. The Flight 93 National Memorial design will include the following elements:

Tower of Voices
The Bowl
Entry Portal
40 Memorial Groves
Wetlands
Sacred Ground
Western Overlook
