'Icons of Franklin Park' Poster Competition Launched

Boston officials launched the Icons of Franklin Park Poster Competition to celebrate the park's cultural and historical significance. Artists of all ages can submit entries until August 1, 2025, with categories for professional and emerging artists aged 14-24. Mayor Michelle Wu highlighted Franklin Park as a beloved community space where Bostonians connect with nature. Submissions should capture the park's physical and cultural icons, including notable figures and significant events. Winners will receive prizes and have their work exhibited at Boston City Hall and the Franklin Park Clubhouse.

The competition aims to foster creativity and encourage local artists to envision the park's future. The judging panel will prioritize submissions from artists with ties to Greater Boston. This initiative reflects the city's commitment to honoring public spaces through art.
