Red Hook Food Vendors
An Open Call for Ideas
Hosted by Architecture For Humanity New York (AFHny)
Rules
The purpose of the Red Hook Food Vendors Open Call for Ideas is to generate ideas and design concepts for a future AFHny project to develop a marketplace for the Red Hook Food Vendors. To that end, we ask that all entrants read and agree to the rules before entering the competition. The rules are intended to make it possible for Architecture for Humanity to share all of designs submitted to the competition with those who could benefit most from them and—ultimately—to build one or more winning designs.
In submitting an entry to the Hook Food Vendors Open Call for Ideas, all participants agree to comply with the rules and terms of entry below.

Participants may participate in multiple teams. For jurying purposes, each design is considered as a separate entry. Multiple designs will not be considered as a single entry.
Period of Submission
