2013 North Puget Sound History Day season begins now

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. Organizers expect to see contest entries from over 400 students at the Shoreline Center on Wednesday, March 20, 2013. Volunteer judges will work in teams of three, evaluating student work.

Help evaluating student work is needed at two different times:

1. Judges to read papers and evaluate websites in February and early March. 

Judges work independently but meet briefly once as a team of three to assemble results. If you are interested in those types of entries, please mark your calendars as follows:

1. Tues 12 Feb, 7:00-8:30 p.m. Paper judges receive assignments at Shoreline Center.
2. Wed 13 Feb, 7:00-8:30 p.m. Website judges receive assignments at Shoreline Center.
3. Fri, 1 Mar. Evaluations due to coordinators.
4. Mon, 4 Mar. Final round paper and website judging begins.
5. Mon, 18 Mar. Evaluations due to coordinators.

2. Judges to evaluate exhibits, documentaries and performances at the Shoreline Center on Wednesday, 20 March. Most judges will serve only in the morning. Some experienced judges will be asked to serve also in the afternoon. Please mark your calendars as follows:

   7:30 a.m.                Orientation in Shoreline Room

   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.  To sign up to judge, follow this link.  If you need further information, email Judging Coordinator Gayle Edwards or check out the webpage.
