Here are the designs:

Vinnie Bagwell's "Harriet Tubman, City of Liberty"

Richard Blake, title TBD

Tanda Francis' "Together in Freedom"

Alvin Pettit, title TBD

What's next: An online survey will remain open through Sept. 1 to allow people to rank their favorite designs and provide comments.

• An advisory committee will use the survey results and other criteria to select the winner, to be revealed in October.
