Students advancing from the District History Day contests to Maryland History Day competition can take advantage of our electronic review process.

Experts will provide a thorough project review with constructive critique for improvement in quality and competitiveness. Electronic review will be provided for student advancers on a first-come, first served basis. Submissions will not be reviewed until all components are received. Although we do our best, we cannot guarantee that all projects will be reviewed. Projects that are reviewed will be returned in time to meet state deadlines.

“MHD illustrated the applicability of the study of history to contemporary issues and current events. It was very motivating to converse with the students about their historical topic and observe how they applied it to current events and their own life circumstances.”

“[The students] learned a variety of ways to present their material and they could focus on what they wanted to learn about. The students had a choice in their learning. It was about their learning NOT what someone else felt they need to learn.”
