National History Day 2008: Conflict and Compromise
More than 500,000 students across the country in grades 6-12 participated in the 2008 National History Day competition, exploring the theme Conflict and Compromise.
Between June 15-18, winners of state competitions gathered at the University of Maryland, College Park, where hundreds of judges sifted through entries and spent time talking with students about their research process and interests. Winners in categories of exhibits, dramatic performances, multimedia documentaries, research papers, and web projects (a new category in 2008) received awards Thursday, June 18. The History Channel offers a webcast of the program.
Contest winners in each category as well as recipients of special medals and special recognition awards appear on the contest winners page.
Students are already gearing up for next year's topic: The Individual in History.
