The 2026 Maryland History Day Contest is taking place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, and we invite you to join us as a judge this year!

Maryland History Day is an annual history project engaging more than 27,000 students in Maryland and serves as a platform for young historians to express their love for history. At the State Contest, they present findings through various mediums, including documentaries, exhibits, performances, and research papers.

Your role as a judge is crucial in evaluating their work and enhancing the skills they've honed during their projects. No prior judging experience is necessary.

Sign up to volunteer and support young historians!
