Utah History Fair
The Utah History Fair is a statewide academic program that turns kids into historians.
It gets them involved in primary historical research and provides a series of competitions where they can present their findings.
Since its creation during the autumn of 1980, the Utah History Fair, Utah's National History Day affiliate, (www.nhd.org), has helped tens of thousands of Utah’s students, grades 4-12, learn, experience, and enjoy history.
The Utah History Fair encourages participating students to explore an area of history that reflects their curiosity, locality, and/or heritage; students often research and present topics that reflect their personality. Students then create an entry in a category of their choice. The categories are:
In Utah, students first compete at the school level. The top projects in each category at the school level then participate at a regional competition. Winning projects at the regional level then compete at the Utah State History Fair Contest. The top two projects from each category are invited to attend the Kenneth E. Behring National History Day Contest.
