New in 2023! APICDA is hosting a WINTER version of our Photo Contest. This is in addition to our traditional Photo Contest that ends in September, thus allowing two chances to be featured in publications and earn prize money. APICDA would like to capture more winter images and holiday events that may be easier to access/submit for participating photographers if they don't need to wait until September to find and enter them.

We hope you've received your 2023 calendar, which features the work of so many talented photographers and truly captures our extraordinary region.

Please see more details below about the winter contest and at: https://www.apicda.com/photo-contest/

The Aleutian Marketplace is excited to announce that an additional three businesses were funded with the Aleutian Marketplace Micro Grant (AMMG), for a total of 11 local businesses funded in 2022!

Lydia Vincler, of Aleutian Beats Drums in Akutan, successfully applied for grant funding to rent a woodworking shop and purchase supplies. Additional grantees included Emil Mobeck’s Done Rite Contracting in Sand Point and Andrew Freeburg’s Scan Dawgs Gear Work in Unalaska. Emil plans to purchase needed tools for his home remodeling business with the grant, and Andrew will buy an electro-hydraulic rebar bender to repair crab pots.

The AMMG program will start accepting applications again on February 1, 2023, for residents with small businesses in the 12 Aleutian-Pribilof communities of Adak, Akutan, Atka, Cold Bay, King Cove, Nikolski, False Pass, Nelson Lagoon, Sand Point, St. George, St. Paul, and Unalaska. The Marketplace is dedicated to working with community members and small business owners throughout the region to explore business concepts and promote entrepreneurship opportunities to help develop the regional economy. Special thanks to the community members who participated in pre-development AMMG brainstorming sessions to create this new economic opportunity for the region!
