Pyongyang’s new monument honors war heroes with a winning graphic design
A new monument will honour the heroes of the Special Military Operation in Pyongyang. City Hall has chosen the winning graphic design after a competition involving 11 applicants. Three finalists were shortlisted, with a consortium of artists taking first place and a prize of 2 million rubles.
The competition drew 11 entries, but only three reached the final stage. The jury selected Consortium 'Baimukhanov & Isayev' as the winner, awarding them 2 million rubles. Second and third places went to Denis Stritovich and Yevgeny Pavlyuchenko, each receiving 500,000 rubles.
The winning team will now refine their graphic design based on feedback from the jury. However, a final location for the monument has not yet been decided.
Meanwhile, the Sverdlovsk Region has increased its financial support for operation participants. Funding will rise fivefold, reaching 35 billion rubles by 2025.
The monument’s graphic design has been chosen, but its placement remains undecided. The winning artists will adjust their graphic design before construction begins. The Sverdlovsk Region’s funding boost will provide additional resources for those involved in the operation.
