The Greenway Is Looking for the Best Photos of Janet Echelman’s Aerial Sculpture

Before Janet Echelman’s “As If It Were Already Here” is—sadly—dismantled in October, the artist is partnering with the Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy to host a contest for the best photograph of the monumental aerial sculpture.
Submissions must have been shot since May 3 and will be accepted through October 7. Finalists will be notified by October 12 and announced to the public by October 13.
The first-place winner will receive $1,000, and their photograph will be featured on both Echelman’s and the Greenway’s websites.
The second-place winner will receive a spot on the Greenway’s Mothers’ Walk, giving them a chance to inscribe a personal message or the name of a friend, mentor, or loved one on a paver that will be installed in the spring.
The third-place winner will receive a “Greenway Grab Bag,” filled with a reusable grocery bag, 20 tickets for free rides on the Greenway Carousel, a framed picture of Echelman’s aerial sculpture, and other items.
Additionally, a to-be-determined number of “honorable mention” submissions will receive a shout-out on the Greenway’s website and social media accounts.
The photographs—digital only—can be submitted on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram with the hashtags #GreenwayArt and #contest or emailed directly to the Greenway. For more details, visit rosekennedygreenway.org.
