History Day contest season is on the horizon. Organizers hope you will save these dates now and plan to register to judge when the North Puget Sound History Day process begins in January.

History Day judges are adults with an interest in history and a desire to help students in grades 6 -12 improve their ability to do historical research and present their results in public.

Contest entries are expected from about 500 students at the Shoreline Center on Friday, March 21, 2014. Judges will work in teams of three. Help is needed to evaluate student work at two different times:

  1. Judges to read papers and evaluate web sites in February and early March. Judges work independently but meet briefly once as a team of three to assemble results. Indicate your interest when you register in January. Paper and web site judging coordinators will contact you with details.
  2. Judges to evaluate exhibits, documentaries and performances at the Shoreline Center on Friday, 21 March. Indicate your preferences when you register in January. Most judges will serve only in the morning. Also need judges for final rounds in the afternoon. Please mark your calendars as follows:


  • 7:30 a.m. Meet in the Shoreline Room for orientation.
  • 9:00 - 11:30 a.m. Evaluate entries in preliminary round
  • 12:30 - 2:30 p.m. Final round judges evaluate entries.

We hope you can join us for a very heartening exposure to young people doing good things. If you want further information, visit our website. Please mark your calendar now. Then plan on registering using our online system in January.
