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.
