March 10 Southeastern Regional at Sheboygan High School. March 29 Western Regional at UW La Crosse. April 7 Central Regional at UW Stevens Point. State Finals of National History Day at UW Stevens Point. Each year, a different annual theme is selected for the nationwide contest.
Annual themes are very broad in scope.
You may select a historical topic ranging from community to world history, yet it must reflect the annual theme. At the regional, state, and national contest levels, NHD judges recognize outstanding achievements with certificates, medals, or monetary awards. In 2001, UWSP is able to offer a limited number of scholarship awards to state-level contestants who meet certain academic criteria. A comprehensive list of the awards offered at the national contest is available on the National History Day web site . The most import rewards, however, are the skills and new knowledge that you will acquire by participating in National History Day.
