Geared towards the design and emerging entrepreneurial community, “NOT JUST A CONTAINER” is a competition to re-imagine a recycled shipping container as shelter for art, commerce or agriculture.
The winner will build his/her concept at Dekalb Market, a new community destination coming to downtown Brooklyn’s Fulton Mall Early Summer. Dekalb Market, housed in a collection of salvaged shipping containers, will bring together Brooklyn’s creative entrepreneurs in a community setting that will include an incubator farm, food market, events and performance venue, and a collection of eateries and work-sell spaces.
The goal of the competition is to support the growth of Brooklyn’s creative community by helping a local entrepreneur realize his or her dream of opening a bricks and mortar location and to raise awareness of the Dekalb Market.
In the spirit of the Dekalb Market, Contestants will be judged on the following:
KEY CRITERIA. Design Quality, Sustainability, Community Impact, and Entrepreneurship.
SUGGESTIONS. Uses for the space could be, but are not limited to: a farm structure, store, art installation, work-sell space, restaurant, sports and music venue.
PRIZES. Our winner will be awarded with a container license (work/sell space) rent free for six months, $3K design/construction budget and free consultation, select construction materials from Green Depot, one year membership to 3rd Ward, one year membership to the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, press exposure and online feature at www.dekalbmarket.com.
SCHEDULE. Your entry deadline is April 9, 2011 11:59pm EST. Construction will start at the Market opening date. The five top finalists, selected on April 19, 2011 by our panel of architects, designers, artists, media partners and entrepreneurs, will be featured on the Dekalb Market Facebook page for public voting until April 30th. On May 1, 2011, Urban Space will announce the winner according to the tallied public votes on its Facebook page.
CONTAINER SPECS. Designs must conform to an 8’ wide by 20’ long by 9.5’ high ISO steel shipping container. Second and third prizes may be awarded to conceptual entries but 1st prize will be awarded to a buildable entry. External interventions, depending upon specifics, may or may not be possible to implement on site.

How about the gift of cookies? New York's beloved Momofuku Milk Bar is at the Union Square Holiday Market with at least 10 different kinds of cookies, including blueberry & cream, chocolate crumbs, peanut butter, and cornflake-marshmallow-chocolate chip cookies. If you haven't tried their famous Compost Cookie® with pretzels, potato chips, coffee, oats, butterscotch, chocolate chips, you have not lived, my friend. You can pick up an assorted half dozen cookies for holiday hostesses ($10). And then there's Crack Pie. It is as delicious as it is hard to describe, but New York is completely addicted to it. Momofuku Milkbar also has great gifts - aprons, totes, and a lovely cookbook!
The Columbus Circle Holiday Market is proud to host the debut of PB&J, a gourmet peanut butter sandwich shop. These sandwiches are huge, luscious and gooey. Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon (pictured) features peanut butter, jelly, banana, honey, cinnamon, and BACON! The sophisticated and savory Bella has peanut butter, sliced pears, walnuts and blue cheese. And then there's Get the Fig Outta Here, with peanut butter, sliced figs and ricotta salata. The combinations are clever and creative -- and mouthwateringly delicious! Bring your friends to try them all, and plan on sharing!
