NHD-CA Historical Paper Contest
Beginning with contests in 2024, registration and submission of all historical papers will follow a different format from other categories. Historical papers will not compete at county contests. Instead, papers will be directly submitted to the state contest by the teacher.
Each school will be allowed to submit up to 3 papers. Please complete the School Participation Form below to let us know your school plans to participate.
