Requirements for Offering Contests with Free Entry in New Mexico

In New Mexico, contests that involve free entry are allowed, but there are certain requirements that must be met [2.2]. These requirements are as follows:

  1. Permits: Any permits or licenses required under the Uniform Building, Electrical or Mechanical codes shall be obtained by the exhibitor at his or her sole expense [2.2].
  2. Compliance: Booth operation or business that fails to comply with safety or fire code requirements shall be subject to immediate closure without refund [2.2].
  3. Inspections: Inspections by state inspectors, law enforcement officials, fair management and concessions department employees may be conducted during reasonable hours during any phase of the fair, including set-up [2.2].
  4. Regulatory Agencies: Representatives of appropriate New Mexico state agencies shall be allowed access to all areas on the fairgrounds for monitoring and regulations compliance purposes. These agencies include, but are not limited to, the following: A. New Mexico environment department; B. New Mexico state fire marshal; C. New Mexico construction industries division; D New Mexico safety counseling; E. law enforcement agencies; F. New Mexico state fair management and concession department employees [2.1].

Based on the above requirements, it is possible to offer contests that involve free entry in New Mexico, but it is important to ensure compliance with safety and fire code requirements, obtain any necessary permits or licenses, and allow for inspections by state inspectors and regulatory agencies.
