A seven-member jury of leading architects, sculptors and  professionals, backed by The Stránský Foundation Fund, the Prague 1 District Council and the Minister of Culture, Daniel Herman, drafted a transparent and professional process to select a winner from 23 qualified entries. 

The winning entry by sculptor Joseph Faltus is that of the witness stand from the trial.  A sparrow symbolizing Milada Horáková sits on the microphone, ready to take flight. The following quote

from her last letter are etched on the marble floor: “I’m falling, falling, I’ve lost this fight, I leave with honor. I love this country, this people. Foster well-being. I leave with no ill-feeling to you.  I wish it for you, I wish that for you.”

A plaque with Horáková’s final words translated into four languages will be placed next to the monument. The monument is to be slightly larger than life scale, interactive, and extremely symbolic.
