2024 Theme: Turning Points in History
The 2024 National History Day theme is "Turning Points in History." Each year the National History Day office selects a broad theme for the History Day contest. Students may choose any topic related to local, regional, national, or world history, as long as her or his research and conclusions clearly relate to the theme. Judges look for evidence that the theme has been adequately addressed in all History Day projects.
