The History Day competition is looking for judges.
The competition takes middle- and high-schoolers and gets them excited about history. Each year, the competition provides a theme which students’ projects must address, and it gives them five categories in which to present their work: papers, exhibits, documentaries, websites, and performances. The 2022-2023 theme is Frontiers in History: People, Places, Ideas. Learn more here.
Judges will attend a two-hour virtual training workshop before the competition.
Then, those judging exhibits, documentaries, or performances on competition day will be at the competition from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.. Breakfast, lunch, and parking will be provided.
Those who can’t make one of the competitions can volunteer to judge papers or websites, which are judged remotely roughly two weeks in advance of each competition.
This year’s contest dates are as follows:
Saturday, February 25, 2023: Rutgers Camden University
Saturday, March 4, 2023: Monmouth University
Saturday, March 18, 2023: Seton Hall University
