Registration is now open for the Nebraska High School Press Association’s Fall 2025 Convention! Registration closes Oct. 13 at 5 p.m.

Propose a Session

We need your help to offer a diverse array of sessions at convention! If you have a topic, skill or insight you’d like to share with your fellow advisers and students, please take a minute to fill out our Session Proposal Form. We are particularly interested in photography and writing sessions but value any contribution you would like to make. Last year, some of our most popular sessions were led by students, so we would love for student editors to present sessions (with or without advisers) again this year. Please encourage your leadership team to submit session proposals. The session proposal form will close on Sept. 19.

Parking
Parking is available for $7 per car, and we’ll provide validation at check-in. Please indicate how many cars you will need validation for during registration. We are currently working on trying to arrange parking closer to the Union, so be on the lookout for parking details closer to the event. If you will be arriving in an oversized vehicle or bus, you can park for free at the NSAA lot at 500 Charleston St, Lincoln, NE 68508.

On-Site Critiques
We would like to bring back on-site critiques this year! If you would like to sign up for a free critique during lunch, please select “Yes” when prompted on the registration form. We will also need advisers who are willing to volunteer their time to provide critiques for other schools. You can select this option on the registration form as well if you are willing to be contacted by our critiques coordinator.
