Lorenzo Ghiberti won the competition to decorate the doors of the Florence Baptistry in 1401. He triumphed over his rival, Filippo Brunelleschi, due to his innovative design and masterful execution, which showcased a higher level of artistry and narrative depth in his relief panels. Ghiberti's work demonstrated a harmonious balance between realism and elegance, ultimately impressing the judges with its artistic merit. His doors, known as the "Gates of Paradise," later became iconic for their beauty and craftsmanship.
You do not say what competition you are talking about! As her best-known work is the Veterans Memorial, maybe that is what you mean. She was elected the winner of that competition. But WHY she entered the competition nobody but herself can know. ------------ She did not know much about the Vietnam War but entered the memorial design competition because she saw how much it affected everyone and how the wounds were so deep. The memorial symbolizes a knife and its gash. However, this was not thought to be enough in the public's eye, so the statues were added off to the side.

To choose a designer for the city's baptistery doors
The two most famous competitors in the 1401 competition for the decoration of the doors of the Florence Baptistery were Lorenzo Ghiberti and Filippo Brunelleschi. Ghiberti's design ultimately won, leading to the creation of the renowned "Gates of Paradise." Brunelleschi, though not victorious, later gained fame for his architectural achievements, including the dome of the Florence Cathedral. The competition marked a significant moment in Renaissance art and sculpture.
I would guess, 'Andy Warhol', but you didn't say what the choices are.
His second set of doors for the Florence Baptistery marked the advent of the Renaissance and was an inspiration for contemporary and later sculptors. Michelangelo praised them.
"Hey friend, you won the competition."
The men's competition was won by France and the women's competition was won by Norway.
God telling Abraham to offer his son, Isaac, as a sacrifice, was the assigned topic for the competition. This happens in the Book of Genesis.
Filippo Brunelleschi did, well, he came in second after Lorenzo Ghiberti.
