The Anguilla Summer Festival has launched a passport scheme aimed at encouraging attendance across multiple events, with the chance to win US$10,000.
The initiative will see festival-goers digitally log their presence using a unique QR code inside the book or on an accompanying wristband.
Participation will accumulate towards entry into a prize draw at the end of the season.
The passport book will be sold for $50 and will also offer patrons exclusive access to several festival experiences.

The Anguilla Summer Festival returns this year from 10 July to 9 August, bringing a full month of events, performances and celebrations across the island.
It will feature beloved staples such as the Poker Run, the Miss Anguilla Pageant, the colourful Grand Parade of Troupes and the Leeward Islands Calypso Monarch and Band Clash competitions.
Boat racing, Anguilla’s national sport, also remains a central attraction, with several major races planned throughout the festival period.
A media launch for the 52nd annual festival was held on 16 March, during which Anguilla Summer Festival chair Fitzroy ‘Briggy’ Tomlinson announced this year’s theme, ‘Anguilla for summer’.
The passport programme was developed in collaboration with the Anguilla Festivals Development Commission and included funding from the Anguilla Air and Sea Port Authority.
