Prizes, Rules and FAQs
Simply visit as many of the Passport stops as you wish, get stamps, then turn those stamps in for prizes. There is no purchase necessary to receive Passport stamps.
- There is no age limit to participate.
- One prize entry per person. Each individual can submit their own pamphlet prize entry sheet. No purchase is necessary.
- People in the same household can receive prizes if they submit their own prize entry forms.
- You have from November 13, 2026 – January 10, 2027 to collect stamps. Your pamphlet prize entry must be postmarked by January 18, 2027.
- There is no app or "digital stamps" for the 2026 Nebraska Holiday Passport
It’s easy! When you visit any of the destinations listed in this pamphlet, be sure to collect two stamps — one next to the destination name in the pamphlet itself (that’s for you to keep), and one in the designated box of each stop on the pamphlet (that’s what you’ll turn in to Visit Nebraska).
To receive your stamp, simply enter the Passport stop and let the staff members know you are a Passport participant. There is no purchase necessary to receive your stamp.
No, you MUST be present to get your Passport stamped. The Passport stops have strict orders not to stamp pamphlets for people not present.
It is HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to plan your Passport stop visits during their business hours. Selfies are the only acceptable alternatives to physical stamps. Keep in mind that many Passport stops are small businesses and may need to change their hours or close for a period due to unavoidable circumstances.
You can submit a “selfie” (a picture of yourself) in front of the location. If there are several people in your group, you can take one group selfie and everyone will get credit. Print your selfies and submit them with your prize entry sheet. You can also turn them in at nebraskapassport.com/selfies.
Simply fill out your personal information, tear on the perforated line and send in to the address listed at the top. There is no need to send in the whole pamphlet.
Share your Passportstories and pictures at NebraskaPassport.com and with each tale you tell, you’ll earn one additional entry into the prize drawings. Additionally, your story will be featured on the Nebraska Passport website and may be featured on VisitNebraska social media channels, as well as other Visit Nebraska marketing materials and future Nebraska Passports.
Prizes are broken out by region. There are eight regions total. For each region completed, you will receive a regional postcard and a lottery coupon. If you visit all 24 stops, you will also receive the Holiday Passport Champion prize, a holiday mug and the prizes corresponding to each region.
NOTE: Participants must be 19 - years old or older by January 10, 2026 to receive lottery vouchers. Parents cannot receive vouchers on behalf of their child.
Please allow up to eight weeks after the program's conclusion (March 7) for delivery of prizes through the mail. Visit Nebraska works with select prize vendors and prize fulfillment services to offer the highest quality prizes and the timeliest delivery, but the prize ordering and mailing process takes time. We appreciate your patience.
You will automatically be entered for the Holiday prize drawings by turning in this pamphlet. Prize drawings of donated prizes by stops and sponsors will take place after all prize entry sheets have been received and entered. Winners will be notified by email.
If you have any additional questions about the Nebraska Holiday Passport program please email [email protected] or call 402-471-3789, Monday-Friday 8a.m.-5p.m. or leave a message.
