Can I offer contests that involve travel prizes in Alaska? What are the requirements?

Based on the documents provided, it appears that contests of skill and dog mushers’ contests are no longer allowed in Alaska [1.1][1.2]. However, grants are available for the promotion or development of visitor travel, including the construction, improvement, or operation of visitor destination facilities and tourist attractions [2.1].

To be eligible for a grant, the applicant must be a municipality, a nonprofit corporation formed under AS 10.20, or a bona fide nonprofit civic, fraternal, or service organization [3.1]. The program or project must be consistent with the purposes of AS 44.33.119 and is likely to promote or develop visitor travel [2.1].

The grant awarded under this section may not be used for tourism marketing [2.1]. The matching money provided by the recipient may include fees, contributions, donations, gifts of money, and special user charges [3.2].

There are no specific provisions in the documents provided that prohibit offering contests that involve travel prizes in Alaska. However, it is recommended to consult with legal counsel to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
