June 2026 • Nebraskaland 63
By Eric Fowler
Winners of NEBRASKAland's first
photo contest were announced.
The contest continued for two
years, then was discontinued
until 2014's Beautiful Nebraska.
The reestablished contest
continues today.
NEBRASKAland
began publishing 11
times per year, with
a combined January/
February edition.
NEBRASKAland's
youth magazine, Trail
Tales, launched, with
four 16-page issues
per school year. It is
sent to every fourth-
grade classroom in
the state.
Nebraskaland changed its
masthead to its current
typographic style. Since
its inception in 1926,
Nebraskaland Magazine
has featured more than
70 masthead changes.
Between March and
June, the magazine's
name changed from
Outdoor Nebraska to
Outdoor NEBRASKAland
before settling on
NEBRASKAland. An
8-page color section also
was added.
With this issue,
NEBRASKAland
began publishing 10
times per year.
The first "Special Issue," a book-length
publication on a single topic — Portrait of the
Plains, was published. Twenty-nine specials have
been published since then, the last one being
"100 Years of Nebraska State Parks" in 2021.
