How to Participate
APFC is collecting materials through two public-facing pathways. One is for general public submissions. The other is for photographers, videographers, historians, archivists, researchers, organizations, and other qualified contributors who may have existing materials, historical resources, or proposed paid project ideas.
Selected materials may appear in APFC’s annual report, anniversary video, website, social media, public education materials, and future communications.This is a chance to help shape how the Fund’s first 50 years are remembered.
Open to All Alaskans
Share Photos, Video or Story Materials
Alaskans are invited to submit photos, videos, historical images, quotes, and story materials for consideration.
Submissions may show families, communities, work, public life, shared places, intergenerational moments, historic events, or everyday scenes that help tell the story of Alaska across time.
Selected materials may be used in APFC’s 50th anniversary communications and future public education materials. Contributors will be credited when selected materials are used publicly, where format allows.
This form is for public submissions. If you are interested in proposing paid photography, videography, historical research, archival support, or other related services, please review the Request for Information below.
Open to Professionals & Amateurs
Propose a Photography, Video, or Historical Project Idea
APFC is seeking photographers, videographers, historians, archivists, researchers, organizations, and other qualified contributors to help document the Permanent Fund’s first 50 years through Alaskan eyes.
Read the Request For Information here.
This is an opportunity to share existing collections, propose new photography or video work, identify historical materials, or surface quotes, records, research leads, and source information connected to Alaska’s past, present, and future.
APFC is especially interested in professional-quality, rights-clearable materials that show Alaska across generations, including community gathering, public life, work, learning, shared places, intergenerational connection, and everyday life across the state.
To support this effort, APFC has issued a Request for Information. APFC may follow up with selected respondents to request additional information, discuss scope, clarify usage rights, request access to existing materials, or discuss possible paid project opportunities.
Thank you, Alaska
Celebrating 50 Years of the Alaska Permanent Fund
The Alaska Permanent Fund began with a choice Alaskans made together: to save part of the state’s resource wealth for current and future generations. As the Fund approaches its 50th anniversary, APFC is collecting photos, video, historical images, quotes, and story materials from across Alaska to help document the people, places, and communities connected to that choice.
