Local architects, designers, artists, engineers, innovators and creative types were invited to submit concepts to the Discover Saint John CARGO-TECTURE Design Competition to mark Canada’s 150 anniversary of Confederation. Five finalists were given a used 20-foot shipping container and $4000 to create their entries.
The Government of Canada, through Canadian Heritage, committed $150,000 to this innovative project.
Winners were chosen by jury selection and public voting at the AREA 506 Festival. Congratulations to all of the participants.
