Judges Needed for CT History Day State Contest!
Dear Friends of Connecticut History Day,
We are seeking 20 judges for First Round Judging (8 a.m.-2 p.m.) and 20 judges for the Second, Runoff Round (12-2:30 p.m.) at the State History Day Contest on May 3, 2025. We need YOUR help provide an educational and enjoyable experience for the 400 participating students.
Students enter to participate as an individual or group:
Once you are re-directed to the sign up page, all new and returning judges should start by clicking the "Create Account" link to set up a new username and password!
How it Works:
All judges will receive pre-contest training and materials to review.
Judges work in teams of 2-3, with an experienced judge serving as captain.
Judges meet students, review and rank projects, and provide critical feedback to every participant.
Website and paper judges meet with students on contest day, but review projects in the week prior to the event. Documentary, performance and exhibit judges both view the project and meet with the students at the contest
First Round Contest judging lasts from 8:00 a.m. until mid-afternoon with breakfast and lunch provided.
The top two projects in each category will be invited to represent Connecticut at the National History Contest. Special prizes will be extended to an additional 20 prizes projects worthy of recognition.
Runoff Judges arrive between noon and 12:30 p.m. to view the top projects from the First Round. They will view 4 projects and together rank the projects and compule brief evaluation forms.
Thank you for sharing this message with colleagues, college students, friends and relatives you think would be interested in volunteering!
