    Wednesday, March 21, 2012 Sent via Electronic Mail [email protected] Ms. Teja S. Sawant 625 W. Madison Street, #1902 Chicago, Illinois 60661 Dear Ms. Sawant, Thank you again for your submission to the Nashua International Design Competition. On behalf of the Jury, I wanted to express our appreciation all the time, effort, thought, and skill that you and your team invested in your submission. Last evening the Jury met to review the Finalists and select a winner. The discussion was lively, and it was difficult to make a decision. Each of the eight finalists had several elements that showed significant value to the City of Nashua and the Nashua Millyard. Although the Jury concluded that your entry was not the winner of the Competition, the Jury did recognize your submission as one of our three runners-up. Congratulations on receiving this well-deserved distinction! Once again, we appreciate the work and your willingness to provide Nashua with your professional design expertise in our process of redeveloping the Nashua Millyard. Regards,

    Tim Nickerson, ASLA Nashua International Design Competition Jury, Chairman
