Can I offer contests that involve entry fees in Wyoming? What are the requirements?

Based on the documents provided, it is possible to offer contests that involve entry fees in Wyoming. However, the fees charged must be established in accordance with the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act and must not exceed the direct and indirect costs of administering the regulatory provisions required for the contest under the relevant title ^[2.1].

Additionally, if the contest is to be entered in the state fair, the entry fee must be set by the state fair board ^[1.1]. If the contest involves a museum, a nominal admission fee may be charged to reimburse the general fund for maintenance costs ^[1.3].

It is important to note that any contract entered into with any person to provide entertainment under this section is void if it in any manner excludes a Wyoming resident from participation in the entertainment because of membership or nonmembership in any organization or group ^[1.5].

Therefore, to offer contests that involve entry fees in Wyoming, it is necessary to comply with the requirements established by the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act and ensure that the contest does not exclude Wyoming residents based on membership or nonmembership in any organization or group.
