King Salmon, Alaska. – The National Park Service invites artists from the Southwest Alaska region to submit designs for use on Brooks Camp 2020 Bear Etiquette Pins. The selected design will appear on thousands of bear pins distributed to Brooks Camp visitors this summer. In addition to the satisfaction of seeing their artwork reaching an audience from around the world, the winner will also receive a pair of pins as an award.
The bear etiquette pins are presented to every visitor to Brooks Camp upon their completion of the mandatory bear safety training, and serve as a visual reminder of their training. The booster pins are colored versions of the etiquette pins, and are awarded to exemplars of excellent bear behavior while at Brooks Camp.
The design competition will run through February 14th. Entries can be submitted in person at the park headquarters in King Salmon between 9am-4pm, Monday through Friday, or e-mail us. Contest rules are available at either of these locations, or online.
If you have questions please contact the park at (907)246-2137.
