Fishing photos sought for ASMI contest

People have until Feb. 2 to enter their photographs in the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute’s annual contest.

This year, Facebook fans also will vote on a Fan Favorite winner. They will vote on a selection of the submitted photos posted to Facebook. Votes will be tallied by the number of “likes” on a photograph. To vote, visit and like ASMI’s Facebook page at on.fb.me/1dXWfAk.

The Fan Favorite grand prize is a trip for two anywhere Alaska Airlines flies.

ASMI will award grand prize, first place and second place in each of the following categories:

• Best Family or Kids Photo.

• Best Old-School or Throwback Photo.

• Best Fish Photo.

• Best Scenic.

• Best Boat Photo.

• Best Humor Photo.

• Best Action Photo.

The first-prize winner in each category receives an iPad. In addition, the second-prize winner in each category receives an ASMI dry bag duffle and the third-prize winner in each category receives an Alaska Seafood sweatshirt.

It is ASMI’s hope that submissions from the photo contest be used in marketing materials to provide an intimate glimpse of life in the Alaska seafood industry, as well as display the natural beauty of our state.
