2013 Bandelier Annual Pass Photo/ Artwork Contest
Win an Annual Pass! Are you a photographer or an artist who frequents Bandelier National Monument? Do you regularly buy an annual pass to visit Bandelier? Here is your chance to combine the two! Bandelier National Monument invites you to submit your photo or artwork in a contest to create the 2014 Bandelier Annual Pass. Bandelier sells hundreds of these passes every year. Next year it could be your photograph or artwork that hundreds of others get to see. The winner will have his/her photograph adorn the 2014 Bandelier Annual Pass and wins an America the Beautiful Annual Pass, which covers Entrance Fees or Standard Amenity Fees at sites managed by US Forest Service, National Park Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management and Reclamation.
