(Statewide) - Got a great fishing shot? The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), Division of Sport Fish, wants to see it! We’re accepting photo submissions for the 2026 Sport Fishing Regulations Summary books cover photo contest.

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!

Deadline: 5:00 p.m., Friday, October 31, 2025

How to enter:

• Submit up to three photos (not screengrabs) taken in Alaska in the past year or two.
• Include a completed and signed media consent release form. For kids under 18, a parent or guardian must sign. If multiple children are in the photo, each child’s parent/guardian must complete and sign a form.
• 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:

• Northern Alaska: Tim Mowry - tim.mowry@alaska.gov

• Southeast Alaska: Carly Lemieux - carly.lemieux@alaska.gov
