If you would like to Judge at MULTIPLE contests this season, you must request that (so that your login stays the same across all contests!).
Request to be a judge at multiple contests by clicking the Judging drop down menu, select "External Portal," the Green "Add" button, and then select the contests you would also like to judge at.
NOTE: All judges are required to bring a laptop or tablet to complete their judging assignment on the day of the regional contest. All judges must create a ZFairs account and register to judge. All evaluations will be completed via the ZFairs electronic platform.

National History Day in Colorado depends on volunteers from our communities to serve as judges! We value your support!
The goal of National History Day is to provide students with a high-quality, educational experience – regardless of whether they win a prize. The judges' evaluation is part of the learning and skill-building process of NHD. The judges' evaluation helps students improve their skills and provides positive feedback and constructive criticism for the hard work students have put into producing their projects. The judges' comments also provide students with ideas for revisions and enhancements as they move from one contest level to the next.
