How does the NHD competitive cycle work?
Each level of the NHD competitive cycle provides students with the opportunity to share their work with peers, professionals, and community members as they compete for special awards and the opportunity to advance to the next level of competition. Students share their project and are interviewed by a panel of judges, comprised of historians, educators, librarians, etc. Projects are evaluated against the same criteria across categories and competitions. Winners in each category/division will have the opportunity to advance to the next level of competition. Learn more about the NHD competitive cycle.
