In addition to sending district winners to Saint Paul for the annual regional competition, the Nebraska District offers additional encouragement awards:

• Omaha Opera Guild Award
• Lincoln Friends of Opera Award
• Gary Jones Memorial Award
• William D. Stibor Memorial Award

In 2014 Carl "Ky" Rohman was honored for his outstanding support of the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions (shown with his wife Jane).

Beginning in 2018, following his passing, the Nebraska District master classes will be known as the Carl "Ky" Rohman Memorial Master Class.
