Our next History Day District 3 Competition is February 23, 2013. The next State History Day Competition is April 20, 2013 - both to be held at Washburn's Memorial Union. The NHD theme for 2013 is "Turning Points in History: People, Ideas, Events."
Entry fees for the district competition are $10 PER STUDENT (not per entry). You will need to register your students and their projects online this year, by the deadline date of Tuesday, January 22, 2013. If you would like to see an online tutorial on how to register your students, please go to the Kansas History Day website: http://ks.nhd.org/
An additional important deadline to keep in mind is that students who are entering in the Papers category or Websites category will need to turn in their papers (4 copies) or website-related materials to us by Tuesday, January 22, 2013, since those categories are judged ahead of the district competition day.
