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.

Maryland History Day Electronic Review for the 2019-2020 year will begin in February.

“My students went deeper with primary and secondary sources than ever before. They used critical thinking skills and applied the transfer goals and essential questions on a deeper level than they could have in class. It challenged them to think deeper and defend their findings.”

“The part of History Day that had the most impact on me was seeing all the other entries and entry categories. It was really inspiring to see so many different people of history honored for their leadership and legacy as that was this years theme. You forget that the whole world has a history and there are so many different people and leaders who make up that history. The fact that this day brings together all of us students, our imaginations, our creativity, research skills, and history really reminds you how much of us would be lost if we didn’t remember those who made an impact.”
