Great Plains Distinguished Book Prize

The Stubbendieck Great Plains Distinguished Book Prize is an annual literary award awarded by the University of Nebraska–Lincoln to the previous year's best non-fiction book on the Great Plains. Eligible books must be full-length, first editions in English, published or copyrighted within the previous year. The prize was established in 2005 and includes a $10,000 cash award.
Prior to 2012, when no award was presented, the prize was given according to the publication year of the book. Since 2012, awards have been named according to the year the award was presented.
