Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot National Monuments would like to invite young artists to get creative in our parks! Beginning June 5th through August 4th, 2017, we will be holding an art contest for children ages 12 and under. Young visitors can pick up art supplies at the front desk of the visitor center. What you find in our park and draw is up to you! Once you have completed your drawing, turn it back into the visitor center for a chance to be featured on our 2018 park specific annual pass! Please limit entries to 1 drawing per child.
At the end of the contest period, a panel of park ranger judges will select 10 finalists. The 10 images will then be displayed in our visitor centers on August 25 and the public will vote for their favorite piece of art. The winning image will be featured on the Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot 2018 annual pass! The winning artist will receive a free annual pass to Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot and a prize pack full of goodies from the Western National Parks Association Bookstore. We will also have prize packs for images that receive the “Ranger’s Choice” and “Superintendent’s Choice” awards. The 10 finalists will have their art on display in our visitor centers for all of 2018!
