The winner chooses one of the following 3 UN Tour of your choice (Architectural, Art, Garden, Focus on Women, ) plus a behind the scenes tour of the building not open to the public, the north lawn/garden and lunch at the UN cafeteria.
Architecture tour is dedicated to a marvel of modernist design and international style - the UN headquarters building in New York.
