Introduction

Alaska Marine Highway System recognizes the desire for film, photographic and social media content producers to gather content either while traveling on or interacting with our state ferry system. Due to the volume of inquiries requesting assets including time, talent and access, we have implemented a 3 step approach to processing these requests.

1. Complete this form, in which we are informally asking for basic information about your interest in gathering with AMHS. Upon review of this submission, the AMHS Marketing department and Management team will make an evaluation on whether the project might be mutually beneficial, and warrants further discussion. You will be notified of this decision of this decision via email within approximately 2 weeks.

2. If selected for further review, the below topics, will need to be developed further in a proposal to AMHS in order that we might thoroughly review the project. A proposal request will be emailed to you with instructions.

3. Upon review of the proposal and further discussion as needed, AMHS may provide a limited License Regarding Photography, Video, or Sound Recordings to the approved Applicant.

Thank you for taking the time to share your project with us!

Please note:
- Incomplete responses will not be considered for further review.
- This is the only avenue you should use to request production-based media access to AMHS vessels and employees.
