2018 Acadia National Park Pass Contest

The National Park Service is inviting photographers and other artists to submit digital images for use on Acadia National Park's 2018 Annual Pass. The selected image will appear on thousands of annual passes purchased by visitors from all over the country.

The winner will receive credit and an America the Beautiful interagency pass, valued at $80.00 which may be used at over 2,000 federal recreation areas nationwide.

Superintendent Kevin Schneider said "We welcome photographers and artists of all ages to share their talent and appreciation of Acadia's amazing landscape by participating in this contest. Having a new image on the annual pass each year will continue the long tradition of using art to inspire generations of visitors to Acadia."
