Maryland History Day is an annual history project engaging more than 27,000 students in Maryland and serves as a platform for young historians to express their love for history. At the State Contest, they present findings through various mediums, including documentaries, exhibits, performances, and research papers.

We invite you to join us as a judge at the 2026 Maryland History Day Contest, taking place on Saturday, May 2, at UMBC!

Your role as a judge is crucial in evaluating their work and enhancing the skills they’ve honed during their projects. No prior judging experience is necessary.

Sign up to volunteer and support young historians!
