The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission will accept submissions for the 2024 Nebraskaland Magazine photo contest starting Oct. 1.
Submissions should be made at Magazine.OutdoorNebraska.gov. To be eligible for the contest, photos should be submitted by 11:59 p.m. Central time Oct. 31.
Photographers of all ages and skill levels are invited to submit photos in four categories:
-
Wildlife — wild mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish
-
Scenic — in which landmarks, scenery or inanimate objects are prominent
-
Recreation — people enjoying the outdoors through hunting, fishing, hiking, backpacking, skiing or other outdoor activities. No traditional sports images will be accepted.
-
Macro — native wildflowers, foliage, fruiting bodies or other parts of plants and the creepy crawly creatures that inhabit them.
All photos must be taken in Nebraska.
Submissions will be judged by Nebraskaland staff, and winning photos will be published in the January/February 2025 issue of Nebraskaland Magazine. First-, second-, and third-place prizes will be awarded in all categories, and a Best in Show prize also will be awarded.
