Urban Space presents ‘NOT JUST A CONTAINER’, a competition to uncover the most creative and innovative use for a shipping container to be located in a downtown Brooklyn retail location.
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.

Are there competition restrictions on physically modifying the container, e.g. cutting openings and the like?
There are no formal restrictions, the core of the competition is for an innovative idea to be executed therefore modifications are possible. However in order to maintain our standards for promoting sustainability, we would like the container to be re-usable for future vendors.
How often is the market open?
The market will be permanent and will stay open 7 days a week.
I second the first question about physically altering the container. The email address listed for submitting questions is not going through.
We just answered. Pls refer back to the first comment.
I was also wondering if there is any usable space immediately surrounding the container. For instance, if you were to open one of the sides of the container, could you use the adjacent space for seating, display, etc.? Thanks a lot!
Yes, there could be space surrounding the container, however, pls keep in mind that the container will be placed in the marketplace along with other containers.
Will the market be open every day, or (like the Brooklyn Flea) is it open only at weekends?
The market will be permanent and stay open 7 days a week.
Does the container need to be closed or secured at night during non-business hours?
Are there any restrictions on the height of the intervention?
Can you describe the surface of the site?
Also, is there a specific format required for the PDF submissions (portrait/landscape, dpi, dimensions, etc) ?
Thanks!
No need to close it since we’ll have security on site and no restrictions about height and PDF format. The surface is mostly concrete. Hope this helps!
Should we factor in A/C or heating? since I can imagine it getting quite hot during the summer and cold during the winter. And what about electrical outlets?
There will be an A/C sleeve provided as well as electrical outlets.
Hi and greeting from Kentucky. I saw the contest and though I am not in the immediate area of the market, I jotted the following ideas which pertain to children and community more than making things. But people who make things and buy things have children, so…..
1. A mini-library with or without lending privileges. Maybe some juice, pb and j’s
2. Art station where children can come and make art and objects on the fly and maybe come back week after week to work on a theme. Art could be used in the community or by families. Get kids and adults in on community art projects and use the crate as the creative egg.
3. Snack station for kids or everybody-get a snack for nominal fee. Maybe just water for people and dogs.
4. DIY station with some sewing machines where people could make their own re-usable carrying bags out of material they bring or out of materials they could purchase at the station-sit down and sew them up then and there.
5. A Safe station for kids to come to if they feel scared or get lost.
6. A nursing-as in breastfeeding-station where mothers and babies could sit and nurse in comfort-and talk to one another or not, drink some tea or water-or not.
7. Cyber station where people could use “free” pc’s. Thinking of this mainly for kids-even have a teacher type in there who could help with some minor educational emergencies.
Okay. That’s it. Put them all facing out in an area called “Kid…….” and let the good times roll.
Thanks. It was a nice exercise in creative thinking. Good luck.
Great ideas! Thanks for the input!
1) Should submissions identify team members and their experience, and describe their qualifications/intent to realize and operate the proposal? Or should they be anonymous?
2) The jury includes individuals associated with organizations (SBS, 3rd Ward, etc.). Can teams include members also associated with those organizations? (Obviously, not the judges themselves, but, for example, another employee of one of those organizations…)
3) Is running water available? Waste water line?
Thanks!
No it doesn’t have to be anonymous. But the teams shouldn’t include members associated with the same organizations as the judges. There will be running water and a water waste line.
Could you explain exactly where? At least on which plot of land? Maybe pin point the spot on google maps?
please see link below.

So… the container will sit in the right most lane on flatbush ave?
If we have plan on selling a product or service that is very similar to something already being offered at the market this spring by a vendor listed on this website, do we still have a chance of being a finalist?
Thanks - awesome contest!
Please send all ideas our way!! The more the merrier.
I am a design researcher from London and I have experience on re-designing ISO sized containers, hence I am very interested in entering this competition. However, I saw the eligibility as ‘US citizen over 18 years old’, does that mean I (non US citizen) cannot enter this competition even if I have good ideas?
cheers
No, you don’t have to be a U.S. citizen.
:)
Is this an indoor or outdoor space? Also, what are the hours of the market? If it’s indoor, how is the lighting? Thanks.
The space is outdoor. The minimum operational hours are 11-5 but hours could vary depending on the type of business and events.
Hello I’m in the process of creating a submission for the container contest and a few questions have come up that I haven’t found the answers to.
Opening day of market?
Estimated daily traffic?
Access to power? If so what Phase / Voltage / amperage? i.e. is 3 phase 230v 60A available? This is important because it effects the machines I’m able to use.
Water access?
Any particular zoning or regulations particular to market location, I’m assuming this is zoned commercial / light manufacturing?
Estimated total revenue from market?
Truck / Shipment access / Time, i.e. loading dock available and what times could we accept shipments?
Square feet available, i.e. shipping container plus x amount of room around it? Container is 8′ x 20′ what should I assume is around this 1′ i.e. 10′ x 22′ or will containers be stacked next to one another?
Insurance requirements?
Thank you
The expected opening date is early summer. You will have access to power and the standard electical specs are 8 x 120volt x 20 amp circuits/1 x 230volt x 30 amp circuit.
There is access to water. There will be rules and regulations set in place to set up specific times for load in and load out of shipments. Please contact me at [email protected] to answer the more detailed questions.
I am confused in submitting my entry am I just submitting a sketch of my design or are you requiring more?
You will be judged on Design Quality, Sustainability, Community Impact, and Entrepreneurship.To enter, all potential candidates will fill out a form, inclusive of contact information and submit button to upload the files (max 3 pages of 8.5” x 11” PDF formats), along with a brief description that outlines the idea.
Try to be as brief and thorough as possible.
Hi,
I have few questions regarding the rules for “not just a container competition”:
1. Can somebody international that is studying in Usa ( for examples doing his undergraduate in architecture school with a student F1 Visa ) be eligible to participate?
2. If Not, Can be possible that one international participate in a group with somebody that he is resident of USA?
3. Is there any registration fee?
Yes, you are eligible and there’s no registration fee.
I have a question about the location for this container … is it free standing? will it be a part of other shipping containers? Can people access all 4 sides of the container? Is there a site plan available other than the one you give via Google Maps …
yes, it is a community of free standing containers with each vendor having their own store front. You will have access on 2 sides. Unfortuanately, all that is available regarding a site plan (as of now) is in the where and when section.
The description says that the market will include an “incubator farm, food market…and a collection of eateries”. Will there also be a farmer’s market on site?
There will be local produce offered on site.
So after Urban Space selects the 5 finalists, the public vote is really a “who has the most friends on Facebook” contest. Under what types of circumstances would Urban Space overrule the public voting results?
If the design is not buildable, offensive, or we identify a rules violation.
No kidding? How did I miss that the final decision would rest on a Facebook contest. Phooey.
HI, great contest, and I have a great idea - but I’m not a designer. The rules are somewhat vague but I’m gathering that you should probably include a sketch of how you envision the space - in which case I should probably seek out a designer to help me sketch something out. Sound about right? Sounds like you will be judging the design of the space as much as the concept itself?
Don’t sweat the design :) Something simple yet direct would be fine! And yes it’s going to be judged on design and concept.
De Soto,
Although I’m entering the contest, if you’d like to share your ideas with me, I’d be happy to draw up your idea for you.
Hi, I’m wishing to participate in the contest, but neither my team or I , aren’t US residents/citizens. Can we still participate?
Thanks
please see julie’s comment above.
Hi,
regarding the question of Jason F., is it mandatory to have public access on both sides ?
Thank you.
no, not mandatory.
Does the container need to be on-grade? Can it be elevated?
yes, it can be elevated.
I see the the 6 month “rent free” part of the prize. In the event that a winner has a successful design and business and wishes to continue to occupy the container, how will that be handled?
Define sustainable.
Thanks,
John
Hello,
I am a designer & artist living out of NY state and would love to enter this competition.
However, as I read the overall criteria/goals, it seems to be geared towards local Makers Artists, Farmers & Chefs who want a vending venue at this location; is that correct?
In other words, if one enters the competition, should we be prepared to staff & run the day-to-day operations of the booth/crate for the full 6 month term/lease? Will DEKALB Market pair us with an appropriate vendor, or should I find a partner to do that ?
Thanks, DDC
We want to provide an incubator for makers, artists, farmers, and chefs. We encourage anyone that can creatively fit the “bill” to submit entries. If your idea requires a staff then you should be prepared to appropriately execute your vision.
I am participating in the Renegade Craft Fair on June 11-12. Will this conflict with the opening date/hours of operation for the contest?
Thanks
no, not a prob.
What would the rent be after the initial 6 free months?
The current rate for that size is 1200 but there are other sizes.
Are propane tanks similar to the ones found on food trucks allowed or is there a possibility to hook up to natural gas? Should it be assumed that there is no extra space beyond the 20′ X 8′ the box takes up? Thanks!
no gas allowed. The container size given is 20×8. If your design extends past that space to include some kind of outdoor interaction, that would be fine.
Hi there,
Can an entrant submit more than one entry?
And you DO NOT want entrant to put names on their submissions, or it’s ok?
Thanks!
you can enter more than once and your name is ok.
Looking at the link of WHERE & WHEN section posted earlier, it is unclear to me which area along Flatbush and Willoughby is designated for Dekalb Market.
- Is it at the spot right in front of the subway stop? Is it on the side walk? or is part of the road being close off for the market?
- How many container are we fit at the site?
Please comment.
Thanks,
JL
the market is right off the dekalb subway spot. The site is on flatbush, gold, and willougby. There is approximatley 40 containers on the site.
flatbush, gold, and willougby…
there is a parking lot by there, do you mean the site is the parking lot?
or is it the sidewalk, road?
JL
Hi,
I would like to know if our firm can submit a project for the competition even if we are all Mexican residents?
I would also like to ask if it is possible that one person submits more than one project or if it is limited to one project per person.
And my last question is if one of the uses of the container can be related to dogs, like dog washing? We’ve read the suggestions for the use of the space, but we were wondering if dogs are allowed to enter the market.
Thank you
yes, your firm can submit. More than one submission is permited per person and we are dog friendly :)
I entered my idea. I hope it went through! I had a couple issues with submitting. The error message came up. So I tried again.
GRRRReat! We got it!
can you send your phone number and any other contact information to [email protected].
We don’t have that information on your submission.
You got both of them?
Do we need to submit …
1 pdf that is three pages long?
or
3 pdfs that are one page each?
it’s whatever you prefer, just as long as the single file isn’t too big.
Question…
If chosen as the winner, after the initial 6 month free lease, are we committed to stay on?
I received an error message when attempting to enter the contest online. Should I mail in a duplicate submission just in case?
Thank you,
Adele Michelsen
Try submitting again. If it doesn’t go through send it to [email protected].
hi, is it okay if our submission form is 11 X 8.5? same size, just horizontal instead of vertical, thank you.
that’s fine.
HI,
I read that we have access from two sides. It would be a storefront (20) and a side entrance or two storefronts?
thank You
You can assign the store front from whatever side works with your design.
Hi,
Can you specify what sides of the container we have access to?
I apologize if someone has already asked this.
thanks-
just answered to above comment :)
Hello,
Sorry, but the terms “freestanding” and “access” are a bit unclear. Will any of the four sides be directly up against another container or a wall? Can you provide a simple layout of the containers? This is essential to the design!
Thankyou
Freestanding in a sense that it’s a unit by itself. If the idea is reasonably buildable then you can have as many sides as you want to be accessible. There is no layout of the containers, just keep in mind that its 8×20.
Do mail-in submissions have to conform to the same 8 1/2″x11″ format?
Hi,
Maybe I am confused, but are we talking about containers on the street? or is there a particular site where they will be aggregated. I am not familiar with the area. Thank you.
It’s on a site. Flatbush/Willoughby/Gold.
Hi, I tried to submit but there was an error:
ERROR: Batchbook Error: Failed to create/update the location for the Batchbook contact
What should I do?
let me check on it. Did you try submitting it more than once?
Yes, I tried submitting it numerous times with different browsers. Thanks for your help.
Hi,
My design partner and I are in the process of putting our presentation together for you guys. Would it be okay if we submit 3 pdfs of multiple pages? It is integral in effectively presenting our concept.
thank you,
Wyatt
sure.
Does this mean that we can submit up to 9 pages (3 pages x 3 files)?
Hi there, I was wondering if you could expand a little on what you’re looking for in Design Quality / Sustainability /Community Impact / Entrepreneurship
Thanks.
lars
Entrepreneurship: To provide an economic opportunity for (and connect the community with) independent entrepreneurs and creative people in four broad categories: Makers, Artists, Farmers, Chefs.
Quality: To carefully curate the quality, originality, and value of offerings to deliver a compelling experience for the community.
Community: Through outdoor placemaking and juxtaposition of uses to create a community gathering and marketplace – not just for products – but also for the intangibles of culture, education, senses, and ideas.
Sustainability: To consciously consider, design and disclose the various systems and resources used by the Market, vendor, product, and visitor (such as water, waste, energy, capital, knowledge, health) to reduce both reliance and impact upon distant places.
Didn’t get a response to my previous question as to whether mail-in submissions need to comply with the same format. Please advise.
mail in submissions must have the same format.
Any aspects of a business plan relevant at this stage?
Some, but it should mostly illustrate your idea and vision.
Some 20′ containers are side opening (rather than just opening one of the small ends). Can that type of container be used also?
We supply the container and you modify it any way you’d like.
having trouble submitting entry. “Batch Error” message. Please advise how to proceed.
Same - batch error have tried multiple times to upload.
Me too: ERROR: Batchbook Error: Failed to create/update the location for the Batchbook contact
If you are having trouble submitting the online form, please email your entry to [email protected].
Reporting trouble submitting entry - same error as above multiple times - have e-mailed
Error…
Have e-mailed to “[email protected]”.
Also trouble submitting - sent via email. Thank you!
And fyi - the time stamp on this log is incorrect. It is now 11:51 pm on the 9th of April.
I am having problems uploading to the website as well; I receive an error message similar to the threads above … I sent my final submission via email to [email protected]. Can you please confirm the receipt of my email when you get the chance?
Thanks,
I also had trouble uploading the file via your submission form. I sent an email to [email protected]. Could I also get a confirmation email that my submission was received?
thank you,
Christian
Same problem as above, the error message referred to duplicate sending, but not having received an email confirmation yet, just thought to check here for a solution - and emailed it.
Thank you all for your submissions and we will be confirming them tomorrow. We appreciate the time and effort you have spent on these, so please feel free to email [email protected] with any questions or concerns.
Hi, I didn’t receive a confirmation for my submission via e-mail. Did you receive it ?

These rules state that Facebook voting ends April 30, but the polls are still open as of now. When do the vote counts stop? Please post accurate information on your Facebook page.
the submissions will be removed tonight since this marks a week exactly.
this is strange, because two of the submissions now give an error, while the others can still be “liked”…..
The online submission form widely returned errors. The finalist announcement was delayed a week (Monday 4/25) because the organizers misjudged their own capacity. Then the announcement was delayed to the next day (Tuesday 4/26) with no explanation.
The voting deadline was changed without announcement. And the voting method was unclear (“Like” on the FB page? “Like” the link after you follow it? Both?). And as CMF mentions, some of the voting links broke.
At best, this was a very poorly run competition at best. At worst, I call shenanigans.
We adjusted the rules to accommodate other contestants’ requests. Our apologies. The hardest job is trying to please everyone.
Dear Tiziana Indelicato. Before using images of other events to publicize your own, it is good form to ask for permission, or at least give proper credit. Two images you have used belong to ContainerArt. (www.containerart.org) In particular one is an installation of Fabio Niccolini and the other by Giovanni Bianchini
Please remove all images belonging to ContainerArt immediately and perhaps consult a proper curator on the rules of giving credit in the art world.
