The Division of Sport Fish is sponsoring its annual contest for cover illustrations for three 2007 sport fishing regulation booklets.  Students in grades K-6 who live in southcentral Alaska are invited to enter the contest.

Three booklets are included in the contest:  1) “Southcentral Alaska,” which covers communities in Prince William Sound, the Kenai Peninsula, the Matanuska-Susitna Valley, and the Anchorage area. 2) “Kodiak,” which covers communities on Kodiak Island, the Alaska Peninsula, and the Aleutian Islands. 3) “Bristol Bay,” which includes the communities of Bristol Bay from Pilot Point to Togiak.

Illustrations will be accepted only from students in grades K-6 in those three areas. Illustrations can be in any media, such as paint, colored pencil, marker, or collage, and should show a memorable sport fishing event. Brightly-colored illustrations are preferred.

Submissions should be postmarked no later than December 15, 2006. Submit illustrations to:
