With more than 3,000 entries submitted through
Instagram, the 2021 Nebraskaland Magazine Photo
Contest drew a record number of stunning images
from Nebraska photographers in the categories of
Wildlife, Flora, Scenic and Recreation.
This year's Best of Show winner, "Sandhill Crane
Preening on Platte River Bank," by Britton Bailey
of Aurora, was shot at Rowe Sanctuary in central
Nebraska. "To witness the ancient annual spring
migration up close from the bank of the Platte River
cannot be expressed in words," she said. "So, I hope
my photographs do the talking for me."
We thank everyone who participated and look
forward to seeing more of your great photographs in
next year's contest.
Keep shooting.
