National History Day In Idaho (NHD) is a year-long student-led academic program focused on historical research, interpretation, and creative expression for 4th-12th grade students across Idaho. By participating in NHD, students become writers, filmmakers, web designers, playwrights and artists as they create unique contemporary expressions of history. The experience culminates in a series of competitions at the local and state levels and an annual national contest in June.
Judges:
Each year, the NHDI program depends on community members across the Gem State to volunteer their time to help Idaho students competing at the regional and state levels! Judges work in teams to interview students and provide important evaluation, which is the core of the contest. Judges can expect to commit a minimum of ten hours for grading projects.
