Design Competition for Local Market in Rajarhat New Town: Win Up to Rs 60, 000

In today's Times of India, we have published an advertisement asking for designs from Architects through a competition. There will be two plots and two separate competitions, both are located in Action Area I of New Town.
I have Delhi Haat or Dakshinapan in mind. But local open markets here are very small - about 20 kottahs or so. This is meant for getting daily groceries, vegetable, fish etc : we are not looking at glass facaded shopping malls. We want fresh open friendly neighbourhood market but with a bit of creativity added, a bit of originality.
Hence the competition and call from young and talented architects.
Winner will get Rs 50,000 reward for one, and Rs 60,000 for the other.
Valid entries will get Rs 5,000 each - unless the number is too large.
Here is the ad:

  1. Sir,

    I have collected few contact details HOD of Arch /TP dept of our flagship tech institutes of West Bengal (BEC, JU, IIT-KGP). I will forward this link to them. But a word from you (directly or through members Prof. BK Sen Gupta or Mr. Dulal Mukherjee whatever you think works best) to them or Directors/Vice-Chancellors encouraging participation from their bright students and faculties may do the wonder. You might have already thought about it....Just sharing my thoughts. Here are what I collected:
