Volunteer to judge History Day

History Day contest season begins now. We hope you will use the new, improved link below to register now to judge our 2015 North Puget Sound History Day projects.

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. All judges will work in teams of three, but we need help evaluating student work at two different times:

1. We need 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, mark your calendars as follows:

• Wed 11 Feb, 7:00-8:30 p.m.          
• Paper and Website judges receive assignments at Shoreline Center.
• Fri, 27 Feb                                     
• Evaluations due to coordinators.
• Mon, 2 Mar                                    
• Final round paper and website judging begins.
• Mon, 16 Mar                                  
• Evaluations due to coordinators.

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

• 7:30 a.m.                                      
• Meet in the Shoreline Room for breakfast and 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. To sign up to judge, follow the link right here. If you have had trouble navigating our registration process in prior years, you will be pleasantly surprised. The new system should be much easier to use. Any special requests or clarification can be input to the Comments section within the Registration program. If you need further information, just email or check out the web page here.
