Visitors can check-in from a smartphone at all designated passport locations to earn points. After accumulating enough points, participants can redeem custom prizes curated for the Visit Indiana Passports from an online marketplace within the passport.

?The updated passport includes almost 200 locations across the state of Indiana, so there is something for everyone to discover no matter what corner of the state they are in,? said IDDC Secretary and CEO Elaine Bedel. ?Many of these venues and displays are also public gathering spots, which encourages people to connect with each other and can even boost economic growth.?

"Across the state, communities are utilizing art as a powerful tool for community and economic development," said IAC Executive Director Miah Michaelsen. "We are grateful for the opportunity to help spotlight public art, organizations and venues that are strengthening the fabric of Indiana communities."
