16/1/04 CHANGE IN THE SUBMISSION DATE FOR THE 1st PHASE

The competition's Technical Secretariat has received numerous enquiries concerning the time and place of documentation submissions. Some competitors have commented that teams working outside Sevile might be at a certain disadvantage due to the fact that the documentation must be submitted at the Municipal Town Planning Offices and not at their local post offices.

Moreover, other teams have commented upon the shortness of the period during which documentation can be submitted, given the complexity of the proposals and the volume of documnetation that needs to be studied, documentation that furthermore was only completed, with the information asked for by competitors themselves, after the informative session and its subsequent replies to enquiries, that took place on December 17th last.

Bearing in mind the above factors, the submission date for the first phase has been put back to February 16th 2004 while the submissions date established as April 23rd 2004 for the second and definitive phase remains unchanged.

Therefore the calendar and reception of works has now been modified to:

RECEPTION OF THE WORKS

Proposals will be submitted and registered until 14:00 hours on Monday February 16th 2004 in:

OFICINA DEL PLAN DE SEVILLA
ISLA DE LA CARTUJA. AV.CARLOS III S/N.

SPAIN

The documentation can also be submitted via any post office or courier firm, but a fax of the document accrediting the dispatch of the work must be sent to the competition's Technical Secretariat (+34 954480222). This proof of dispatch must arrive before 14:00 hours on Monday February 16th 2004 as mentioned above.

Documentation sent by post or courier must however arrive at the technical secretariat before 14:00 hours on Friday February 20th 2004.
