2008 National History Day

 

National History Day is a nationwide competition open to middle and upper school students.  Participants submit a project in one of several categories (research paper, video documentary, website, exhibit, performance) relating to a particular theme.  This year's theme is Conflict and Compromise.  Projects are judged, with the winners advancing to the next level of the competition.  The 2007-2008 NHD national contest will be held June 15-19 at the University of Maryland.
