Judges needed for State NHD Contest!

Help Students Explore History through National History Day!

Judge at the State Contest on April 28.

 

Help students from across the Show-Me State have a great learning experience! Make plans to join us at the National History Day in Missouri state contest on April 28 at the University of Missouri in Columbia.

Volunteer judges are vital to students’ contest experience, offering feedback on students’ creative research projects and helping top finishers prepare for the national contest in June.

As a judge, you can expect to spend the day interacting with motivated students in grades six through twelve. NHDMO’s five competitive categories—documentary, exhibit, paper, performance, and website—offer something for everyone.

“It was a great experience to meet so many talented students interested in history.”
