[Infra Imagination Contest]

Infrastructure is the backbone of a country and is the prime mover of the economy. Investors, policymakers and citizens alike strongly feel the need for improvement of physical infrastructure to accelerate India’s economic growth. There is a need to develop a national vision for infrastructure.

In this scenario, Essar Steel and E18 are pleased to announce the ‘Infrastructure ImagiNation Contest’.  The contest is a unique platform for students who are on the threshold of designing and creating the country’s complex infrastructure. Instituted to enthuse, encourage and empower students by giving them an opportunity to express their vision for India’s Infrastructure, this contest aims to inspire a new generation of nation builders.

The contest is part of a larger initiative, the Essar Steel Infrastructure Excellence Awards in association with CNBC TV18, which showcases exceptional projects and felicitates companies for their contribution in the field of infrastructure development.

This national level contest is open to all students of Civil & Mechanical Engineering and Architecture.

Entries will be evaluated by our Process Advisor, Grant Thornton based on parameters like creativity, practicality and impact. Students submitting the ten best entries will be required to send in a detailed presentation of their vision. These will be shortlisted to five entries which will then be presented to a jury of industry experts.

Students submitting the best three entries will be awarded cash prizes of Rs 1,00,000 /-, Rs 75,000 /- and Rs 50,000 /- respectively. The final winner will be felicitated at the Infrastructure Excellence Awards ceremony and will get the opportunity to rub shoulders with the stalwarts of the Infrastructure industry.

Other students participating too stand a chance to win exciting prizes and merchandise.

It is an honour to invite your esteemed institute to be a part of this initiative. Details of the contest are available on our website: www.infrastructureexcellenceawards.com. The last date for submitting entries is 25th February 2010.
