"The idea is to honor Ginsburg's life and legacy with a piece that's as enduring as her words from the bench. The call for entries is intentionally broad: While you could propose a statue, organizers are just as open to installations, interactive works or even something abstract, as long as it captures her values-integrity, dignity, resilience and, of course, her razor-sharp use of language."
"Justice Ginsburg herself once said she wanted to be remembered as "someone who used whatever talent she had to do her work to the very best of her ability. And to help repair tears in her society, to make things a little better through the use of whatever ability she has," according to the official memorial competition guidelines. That ethos-rooted in the Jewish principle of tikkun olam , or "repair the world"-is meant to guide the artists who apply."
An international competition will commission a permanent Ruth Bader Ginsburg memorial at Brooklyn Bridge Park's Pier 1, backed by the Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Memorial Commission, the Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation, and New York State. The project carries a $1–2 million budget and invites submissions worldwide. Design proposals may include statues, installations, interactive pieces, or abstract works that capture integrity, dignity, resilience, and Ginsburg's use of language. The memorial should reflect the principle of tikkun olam, withstand waterfront weather, function across seasons, and blend with the park's landscape on the southwest plaza overlooking New York Harbor.
