Dear Maksim,

I am sorry to have to tell you that your WAF entry Horizontal observation wheel. Martynov wheel. (project number 1552) entered into Experimental, Future Projects has not been shortlisted in this year’s awards. Competition was very strong, and I hope this will not discourage you from entering in in future years. You will be able to view the full shortlist from tomorrow on the WAF website.

Your project will of course still be exhibited in the WAF gallery at the Festival and your entry will be permanently archived on www.worldbuildingsdirectory.com which will be launched for 2014 in July. We would very much like to see you at the Festival in Singapore, and hope that you will consider attending.

To that end, I encourage you to take advantage of the discounted delegate rate available to you as an entrant. We would like to offer you a priority booking discount of 10% off of the current rate for festival passes which will be available until 16 July. We still strongly encourage you to come along and enjoy all that WAF has on offer, see your work displayed in the gallery and meet your colleagues from all over the world.

You can purchase festival passes for any members of your team who would like to attend online at www.worldarchitecturefestival.com or by calling our customer services team on +44 (0)20 3033 2020 or emailing info@worldarchitecturefestival.com. Please quote the code ENTRANT14 when you book.

Thank you again for entering WAF. I hope we might see you at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, in October.
