Each year, ADF&G publishes four regional regulation books – Northern, Southcentral, Southeast, and Southwest Alaska – and the covers feature photos of anglers fishing in Alaska. Whether it’s a proud little angler, a family outing, or friends celebrating a big catch, we want to see the fun you have had on the water!

How to enter:

  • Submit up to three photos (not screengrabs) taken in Alaska in the past year or two.

  • Photos showing unsafe or unethical practices, fish and game violations, or advertisements will not be accepted (for example, kids in boats without life vests).

Include in your email: Angler’s full name, age, species of fish, and the waterbody where it was caught. Attach your photos and the signed media release form, and email them to the correct regional contact:

For more info and to download the media consent release form, visit www.adfg.alaska.gov.
