Plan the contest year.

Contest day

From check-in to presentation

A History Day contest turns months of research into a day of presentation, questions, feedback, and revision.

How it works

From research to competition

NHD students research a historical topic connected to the annual theme, create an original entry, and compete through local or affiliate contest structures. Each affiliate may advance up to two entries per contest division and category to the National Contest.

Korea portal

What the affiliate portal is used for

The NHD Korea portal is the local hub for participant, teacher, and judge registration; student digital project uploads; affiliate announcements; and judge evaluation work.
