Students conduct historical research on a topic of their choice and present their research at local and school programs. Top entries from these levels are then invited to the state/affiliate level contests. The top two entries in every category at the state/affiliate level are then invited to the National Contest.

Conduct research on any topic related to history and present it to panels of judges who will evaluate the research on a number of criteria related to the quality of research. Each year NHD selects a theme for the contest. Although students may select a topic on any aspect of local, regional, national, or world history, the project’s research and conclusions must relate clearly to the annual theme.
