Get involved in Maryland History Day 2024!
Make history come alive for students by volunteering for this year’s Maryland History Day.
Not only will you support students as they discover the historical, cultural, and social significance of the past, but you’ll give students a voice.
Become a Judge
Judge a District Competition in February and March
Before competing at the state contest, students must compete at the district level. If you live in one of Maryland’s many districts, you can volunteer as a district contest judge. You’ll review student projects, interview students, select the winners to advance to the state contest, and provide constructive feedback.
Judge the State Competition on May 4
Projects selected at the district level are ready for the state competition! Students will present their projects at Maryland History Day on the University of Maryland, Baltimore County campus. Volunteer as a state judge by April 1 to review projects and decide who makes it to the national contest in June.
