The end of October and the first part of November has been quiet for the memorial project, as the portal, hosted by the Royal Society of Sculptors (RSS), was open for artists to make their design proposals.
That competition entry closed at midnight on Tuesday 19th of November and by that point we had received an incredible 38 proposals from a wide variety of artists.
Since then, our judging panel of 7 have been busy reviewing those proposals and rating them against the scoring matrix that has been defined to ensure a fair and equitable result.
The judging panel is made up of veterans, an expert from the National Memorial Arboretum, an expert from the RSS, a representative of the Royal British Legion, an artist advisor and a representative of current serving LGBTQ+ networks.
On Monday, 2nd December, the judging panel will be meeting in London to debate the proposals and their merits and that will result in a shortlist of artists that will go forwards to produce more detailed proposals that will be judged at an event in January where the final design is selected
