The Committee then submitted the designs of seven finalists to the General Assembly (meeting in its second session, 16 to 19 June 2008), which proceeded to select the design by Mr Dragutan Dado Kovačević of Croatia on 19 June 2008. The submissions of Petra Sutila of Slovenia and Michelangelo Camardo of Italy were selected as first and second runner-up, respectively.
