LIVE FOREVER - Michael Jackson Monument Design Competition Opens This Week

Bustler and our sister site Archinect are teaming up to host a competition to design a monument to the epic that was Michael Jackson. Live Forever is an open ideas competition without limits.

While the music and images Michael left us will seal his cultural immortality, we are still obliged to commemorate him. What is the nature of a monument to Michael Jackson? What single place do we choose to remember a person who touched the globe and had aspirations for the moon?

What is the appropriate scale to remember a man who operated on everything possible - from the studied renovation of his own human form to the creation of an architectural-scale wunderkamer at Neverland Ranch? What design proposal can top his own unrealized plans to construct a 50-foot robotic replica of himself that roams the Las Vegas dessert shooting laser beams out of its eyes?

Live Forever challenges you to design a monument to the epic that was Michael Jackson. There are no limits to this open competition. Your monument may be located anywhere you choose and be any scale that you deem appropriate.

The competition opens for online submissions this week, August 5. Deadline is August 22, and the baddest design wins.
