Alaska Wilderness League and Alaska Wilderness Recreation and Tourism Association (AWRTA) have teamed up to highlight the extraordinary and diverse values found on federal public lands in Alaska, managed by the Bureau of Land Management. These lands contain some of our nations greatest treasures: the world’s largest wild salmon fishery, the largest surging glacier in North America, millions of migratory and resident bird populations, the largest caribou herd in Alaska, and Alaska’s longest River; the mighty Yukon. The unique history, cultures, and untouched beauty of these wild places is yet to be discovered and we hope to inspire the public to showcase these amazing places.
The challenge for contest participants is to highlight and capture the extraordinary values found on Alaska’s Public/BLM lands with engaging photographs and stories. Our hope is that this effort will inspire viewers to visit these special places and work to protect them for future generations.
