General Ford said that each of the four had come up with a very different response to the design brief but the Jury had considered that all four had the potential to be developed into a suitable Memorial. He congratulated the winners and welcomed their determination to design a memorial that will meet the requirements, "We want a memorial with which present and future veterans of peacekeeping operations can identify" he said. "The winning design will in addition increase awareness in the Australian community of peacekeeping as well as be an architectural enhancement of the national capital." Stage two of the competition will finish with submissions on 6 March.
The Australian Peacekeeping Memorial will commemorate and celebrate Australian peacekeeping over the last 60 years and into the future. Donations towards construction of the memorial are tax deductible.
