The National Park Service has selected a photograph by J.K. Putnam of Southwest Harbor, Maine, as the winner of Acadia National Park’s 2019 annual entrance pass contest. The photograph portrays a pair of barred owls photographed in Acadia National Park. The photograph will appear on thousands of annual entrance passes purchased by visitors from all over the country. As a show of thanks, Mr. Putnam will receive credit for his photograph and a 2019 Acadia Annual Pass displaying his winning photo.
“We are excited to have received a multitude of entries from 17 states as well as from locations such as Canada and Mexico,” said Superintendent Kevin Schneider. “We want to thank everyone who submitted and shared their amazing images of Acadia National Park.”
The Acadia National Park annual entrance pass is available for purchase after May 1st at locations listed on the “Fees & Passes” Acadia National Park website https://www.nps.gov/acad/planyourvisit/fees.htm.
The National Park Service retains 80 percent of the fees collected from entrance pass sales to invest in critical improvements that directly benefit visitors at Acadia National Park, including maintaining and enhancing visitor facilities. The entrance pass revenues are also essential for funding the operation of the Island Explorer bus system, which serves Acadia and its surrounding communities. The National Park System uses the remaining 20 percent of fees collected from entrance passes to benefit other sites in the National Park System.
