Alaska Photo Contest

Alaska Tour & Travel is celebrating Alaska's 50th Anniversary of Statehood by awarding one lucky photographer the limited edition Sydney Laurence print "Legacy of Alaska" depicting Alaska's Mt. McKinley. This special print was signed on May 10th, 2008 by all of the living governors of Alaska including Mike Stepovich, Walter Hickel, Keith Miller, Bill Sheffield, Steve Cowper, Tony Knowles, Frank Murkowski, and Sarah Palin. The print is marked with an embossed seal noting the 50th Anniversary of Alaska Statehood and has current retail value of $1500. The Sydney Laurence print can be viewed all summer at the Artique Gallery in Anchorage at 314 G Street.

The Grand Prize print will be awarded to the photographer whose photo best depicts Alaska's spectacular wildlife, scenery, people or adventure. The contest is open to visitors and residents alike.
