A proposal to hold the Wikitopia competition as a recurring event.

FOR (A): Repeatedly holding events at Sony Park will contribute to increasing the public appeal of Ginza
AGAINST (A): Proposing a competition as a competition entry, is this even allowed?

AGAINST (D): This is too costly, not feasible
