Apple founder Steve Jobs monument will be established in the city of St. Petersburg in Russia.
An exhibition of draft projects for the establishment of monument of Apple founder Steve Jobs, who died last October, opened in St. Petersburg Monday, a spokeswoman for the project's organiser said.
Earlier, a competition in order to select a Steve Jobs monument project was announced on July 23 in which a total of 25 projects have made it into the final.
"We have opened an exhibition of 25 works that were selected for the final," the spokeswoman said, adding that it will be opened at least until Sep 6.
The winner of the competition will be selected by a jury of St. Petersburg IT
experts followed by online voting.
Earlier, just after some days Jobs's death on Oct 5, 2011, a bronze monument of
the Apple founder was established in Budapest, Hungary, while the tiny Brazilian
town of Jundiai near Sao Paulo named a street after him.
The city hall of the Ukrainian city of Odessa has also announced its plans to unveil a monument to Steve. The two-meter, hand-shaped steel memorial of the late Apple founder has a hole in the centre that has a shape of Apple’s logo.
The 200-kg sculpture will be placed near the student hostel and lit up in the evenings, the city's authorities said.
