Competition announced for the design of a commemorative plaque on Bartolomějská Street
Živá paměť, o.p.s., in collaboration with the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, is organising an art competition to design a commemorative plaque at 10 Bartolomějská Street. The plaque will commemorate the Roma and Sinti who were persecuted during the Second World War and the role the building played in organising their deportations to concentration and extermination camps.
The competition is open to students and graduates of art schools, as well as other visual artists aged 35 or under. The aim is to find a contemporary and dignified artistic solution that takes into account the historical significance of the site and the character of the listed environment.
Submitted proposals will be assessed by a six-member expert panel, and the top three will receive financial prizes. Throughout the competition, it will be possible to consult representatives of the Academy of Fine Arts (AVU) on technical and artistic requirements, and Živá paměť on matters of content.
Competition entries may be submitted by 21 November 2026.
The full competition terms and conditions, technical brief and information for entrants are published here.
