2027 Sport Fishing Regulations Photo Contest: Now All Online

(Statewide) – Got a great fishing photo from this summer? The Division of Sport Fish wants to see it. The 2027 Sport Fishing Regulations Cover Photo Contest is now open, and for the first time, entries are submitted entirely online.

Each year, standout photos are featured on the covers of the Division’s regional Sport Fishing Regulations Summary Books – Northern, Southcentral, Southeast, and Southwest – with additional photos appearing on the inside pages. A big catch, a family trip, a day on the water with friends- if it captures Alaska fishing, we want to see it.

Deadline: 5:00 p.m., Saturday, October 31, 2026

How to enter:

• Submit up to three photos (not screenshots) taken in Alaska within the last two years.
• Complete the required media consent release form through the online submission system. 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, children in boats without life vests).

Submit online: For full details and to submit your photos the fastest, easiest, and most streamlined way, submit your photos through our new submission form online.
