Additional Contest Reminders
- Judging will take place over the course of several days during each contest. There will be no student interviews with virtual contests, so your timeline to review projects is flexible within the contest window.
- We have updated the History Day website with vital information for judges, including expectations, a general FAQ, and History Day information.
- If you have co-workers, friends, or family members that may be interested, please help us spread the word. Experienced History Day judges are essential to a successful competition, but we also love fresh faces! Remember, judges don’t have to be historians. We seek volunteers from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences.I hope you will join us once again, and help make a difference in the lives of Minnesota students.
