Important
Event Notes
- Exhibit Word Count: The National History
Day in Wisconsin program is part of a pilot project to test
a potential update to the History Day rulebook. At the Wisconsin
State Event, all exhibit entries must include the number of
student-composed words in the exhibit as part of their title
page. View the flyer
(PDF) for more information.
- Event Orientation Session Cancelled: Because
of space limitations, we have cancelled the optional Event
Orientation session. If you have questions about logistics
or locations, please talk to the volunteers in the Pyle Center
Main Lobby.
- Parking and Directions: Construction and
other events in the downtown area may mean more congestion
than usual. Please bring with the parking
and directions sheets from your state event registration
packet for a full listing of nearby parking ramps.
- Awards Ceremony Split: Because of space
limitations, TWO SEPARATE awards ceremonies will be held for
Junior Division and Senior Division students at nearby locations
on campus. These awards ceremonies will run at the same time,
4:30—5:15 PM. The same documentary presentation will
be shown before each award ceremony. Please see below for
locations.
- Documentary Technology and Testing: Each
room will be equipped with a media console that will accommodate
VHS/DVD and laptop projection through a 15-pin VGA cable connection.
Projects on DVD should be checked on a standard, non-computer
based DVD player before arrival at the event to ensure that
they will play. We strongly suggest that students bring an
extra copy of their DVD and a copy of their project in another
format as a backup for the event. Documentary rooms will open
at 8:30 AM. Students may test their equipment before judging
begins at 9:00, or test it during the room’s break.
Be courteous! Testing your equipment should not interfere
with the ability of the next scheduled student(s) to begin
setting up their project.
