Following President Marcon’s pledge to rebuild the burnt cathedral within five years, a Notre Dame Design Competition will launch soon. This will be supported by financial and expert pledges from Tycoons and International firms. So far, their combined pledge for the reconstruction has surpassed US $920 million. The French government is working towards introducing tax breaks to encourage more donations. 

The decision to create Notre Dame Design Competition emerged from a cabinet meeting with Prime Minister Edouard Philippe. The cabinet emerged with a decision to organise an international design competition for the spire that crashed into the roofline during the fire.
