National History Challenge (Years 10-13)

We are challenging students to take part in a competition being run by the Historical Association. You can choose from a range of challenges and there are prizes and awards to be won. Details on each of the challenges are below.

The Young Historians Award encourages you to research a period in history that interests you. It can be something you are already studying at school but maybe want to develop further, or it can be something entirely new, it's up to you. You must research and produce a project that meets one of the themes below.

Year 10-13 categories for 2021 are as follows:

  • The Spirit of Normandy Trust Prize for GCSE/A Level students: for individual work on any aspect of British involvement in the Second World War.

  • The GCSE World War 1 Prize: for individual work on any aspect of the First World War

  • The GCSE Modern World Prize: for individual work on any aspect of the Modern World

  • The 16-19 Local History Prize for Schools and Colleges: for individual personal enquiries into Local History

  • The GCSE Local History Prize: for individual work on a Local History theme
