<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Judges Needed for Virtual Oregon History Day Contest<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Oregon Historical Society is looking for historians, educators, and history enthusiasts to volunteer as judges at the
<a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/7b85nh/jtxycc/z1qj4mb">2022 virtual Oregon History Day state contest</a>. The Oregon History Day team will provide a training session about judging expectations and how to review student projects. Judging involves evaluating
projects with a critical eye, making decisions, and offering students constructive feedback on their work. Judging teams will consist of a mix of experienced and first-time judges.<br>
<br>
The virtual competition for middle and high school students will take place from <b>April 22–26, 2022,</b> and judging can be completed from home. Students will present their findings in one of five categories: historical papers, websites, documentaries, performances,
and exhibit boards. Oregon History Day is an affiliate of National History Day®, a research-based program that spans the school year, providing students with a unique opportunity to practice intensive historical research and interpretation.<br>
<br>
Each History Day project must address the annual theme. This year’s theme is “<a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/7b85nh/jtxycc/furj4mb">Debate & Diplomacy in History: Successes, Failures, Consequences</a>.” Students with outstanding projects from the state contest
will be selected to move on to the National History Day® contest.<br>
<br>
To participate, a judge needs access to a computer and the internet. Please email
<a href="mailto:History.Day@ohs.org?subject=Oregon%20History%20Day%20Judge">History.Day@ohs.org</a> if you are interested in volunteering!<o:p></o:p></p>
