The 2014 Fishing Families photo contest put on by the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute (ASMI) brought some incredible photos into the public domain.

Each is unique, particularly considering the variety of categories ASMI asked contestants to provide entries for, which ranged from scenic panoramas of Alaska's vastly beautiful sea and mountain views to the vintage-esque photos that entered in its "throw-back" category.

ASMI plans to use the winning entries from the 2014 Fishing Families photo contest  it ran from Jan. 1 to Feb. 2 in marketing materials to “share the  story of Alaska’s hardworking fishermen and thriving seafood industry."
