Judging Information


The Kenneth E. Behring National History Day Contest will be held June 9 – 13, 2013 at the University of Maryland, College Park.  National History Day (NHD) is looking for historians, educators, and others to judge student projects at this year’s contest. Judging will take place on Monday, June 10 for the Junior Division (grades 6-8) and Tuesday, June 11 for the Senior Division (grades 9-12).

 Students in 6th through 12th grades conduct extensive research on topics related to an annual theme and present their findings in historical papers, exhibits, documentaries, performances, and websites.  This year, the theme is Turning Points in History.  We need even more judges than ever, so please join us and feel free to pass this invitation on to others!

 Evaluation and discussion with your fellow judges will be an all-day affair.  An orientation session will be held in the Stamp Student Union at 8:30 a.m., prior to the actual judging.  In return for your time and effort, we offer free parking and lunch, endless gratitude, and a positive perspective on our nation’s youth.
