Your Ideas Sought for Las Vegas October 1st Memorial

Clark County officials and the 1 October Memorial Committee are seeking public input for the construction of a respectful, lasting memorial to remember the victims of the October 1, 2017, shooting as well as honor the survivors, first responders and everyday heroes who inspired the nation with their bravery in recognition of the resiliency and compassion of the community. 

This outreach effort is the first phase of an 18-month process that will result in the committee making a formal recommendation to the Clark County Commission for a project in September 2023 to coincide with the 6th remembrance of the shooting.  

Local residents, as well as those living in California or other states and countries affected by the tragedy are also encouraged to submit an idea for a project or express interest in getting involved in the development of a proposal.  

The memorial selection process offers three pathways for participation through a new website application developed to accept submissions on the committee’s website pages at  www.ClarkCountyNV.gov/1OctoberMemorial and via a mobile app: https://apps.vdomobile.com/m/1octobermemorial/.  

The three pathways are:

• Call for Creative Expressions/Submit Your Ideas       (July 1 – September 30, 2022)
• Call for Qualifications/Professional RFQ Teams        (August 1 – October 31, 2022)
• Call for Evaluators/Help Select the Design Team       (July 1 – July 31, 2022) 

A highlight of the selection process kickoff is the “Call for Creative Expressions” pathway that allows the public and individual artists, not part of a formal design team, to submit ideas for a memorial through the committee’s website application. Submissions can be drawings, videos or songs (60 seconds or less), or other digital forms of design along with a short letter of intent describing the idea or feelings the submission is meant to convey.
