· The Worshipful Company of Chartered Architects (WCCA), invites all Liverymen, Freemen and Students of the Company to participate in a design competition for a Triumphal Arch to celebrate HM The Queen’s service on 9^th September 2015, when she will surpass her great-great-Grandmother Queen Victoria, and become the longest reigning monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

· The winning design will be framed, and will presented to HM The Queen by the Worshipful Company of Chartered Architects to celebrate her extraordinary service. It is hoped the winning design will be endorsed by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), and the Commonwealth Association of Architects (CAA), as well as the WCCA, and that the three logos of these august bodies will be included in the framing of the winning design.
