Illinois History Day

The Illinois History Day is an annual statewide competition that gives junior high and high school students (grades6-12) an opportunity to display their knowledge on a topic through various history-related projects. Illinois Regional History Fairs are
held in the early spring at college campuses throughout Illinois. Some projects will be selected to represent Illinois at the University of Maryland in mid-June during the National History Day competition. Students are invited to enter projects in any of these categories: research papers, exhibits, media, performances and historical website.
