On March 18, 2023, more than 284 talented students participated in the Baltimore City History Day Contest on March 18, 2023. Winners were chosen for both individual and group efforts from five different categories—research papers, exhibits, performances, websites, and documentaries. The 50 winners, 28 projects, will move on to the Maryland State History Day Contest on May 6, 2023. State competition winners will proceed to the National History Day Competition in Washington, D.C.
The program of Maryland Humanities now in its 21st year, Maryland History Day involves more than 28,000 students at the school level, representing 22 counties and Baltimore City. Students research topics that address the National History Day theme and participate in school and county competitions to qualify for the state contest. The 2023 theme is “Frontiers In History.”
