Our Judges Agree that the Quality, Creativity and Depth of the Entries Submitted to the History Uncovered Competition Exceeded Our Highest Expectations!
Congratulations to all of our History Uncovered Grand Prize and Hall of Fame winners and to your librarian/media specialists and teachers as well. The entries you submitted displayed a remarkable range of history scholarship, creativity, research savvy, and communication skill. We were gratified to see the many ways you used the information in the ABC-CLIO online databases as springboards for your entry submissions, and we applaud the efforts of every high school and middle grades team that accepted the challenge and entered our inaugural event.
We invite you to spend some time looking at the sample entries of our Grand Prize and Hall of Fame winners. We know you will share our enthusiasm for the great work these teams created. To all of our entrants, we thank you for your participation, and we look forward to your entries next year! Watch for competition details in the early fall of the 2009-2010 school year.
