Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a question about judge at the Contests? We may already have an answer! ​
Student History Day projects are judged by teams of volunteer judges. All judging at History Day is done on a consensus basis and judges' decisions are final. Judges are recruited from the local community; they are educators, historians, curators, video producers, writers, lawyers, and business people with a love of history and education.
