  The National History Day Contest

The National History Day contest will take place June 15-19 in College Park, Maryland. 

From the Wisconsin History Day website - "The national contest is held during the second or third week of June at the University of Maryland – College Park, which is located just a short metro ride from downtown Washington D.C. Wisconsin students travel independently to the national contest and usually opt to stay with the state’s delegation in the campus dormitories. At the national contest, judging of projects is just one part of an exciting week filled with opportunities to explore the nation’s capital and meet students from across the country. To experience the national contest through the eyes of Wisconsin students, check out the online journals of past delegations."
