Sign up now to be a judge for the 2014 Maine National History Day competition, to be held at UMaine in Orono, on Saturday, April 12.

Maine National History Day is an annual event for teachers and students in grades 6-12
which promotes critical thinking skills through project-based learning.
The competition runs from 10AM-4PM; judges must be on-site by 8:30AM. Morning refreshments and lunch will be provided.

We strongly encourage you to sign up by February 28, and, as an extra incentive, we will put your name in a drawing for a great prize.

You'll get an initial confirmation email and, in mid-March, your judging assignment and detailed information and resources about the judging role and responsibilities, as well as the logistics of the day.
