Judges Needed!
Judges Needed!
At History Day contests, teams of volunteer judges interview students and evaluate their work. This experience helps students develop career and college-ready skills. As a judge, you have the opportunity to make a lasting impact on young lives.
Judges provide feedback, inspire students to improve their work, and learn from students' research. History Day judges also select projects to advance from the Regional to State and National Contests.
All contest judges will receive an orientation on the day of the event prior to judging.
Teachers receive 4-6 renewal units.
