Introduction
This section contains the Rules that govern projects submitted to the Chicago Metro History Fair. Additionally, it delineates the penalty points and clarifies the judging rationale. By organizing this information for participants, we hope students will be able to assess their own projects and make choices with full knowledge of the expectations of teachers and judges. Guidelines, on the other hand, are tips that we have gleaned over the years that will help improve student projects.

Do you know what that means?
"NHD" stands for "National History Day" which is a nationwide history contest. CMHEC offers students the opportunity to participate in NHD, but it is not mandatory—students are eligible to advance all the way to the state level and win awards and scholarships for any topic in local history. Each year, the NHD office names a particular historical theme that students may use to frame their topic (e.g., Rights & Responsibilities or Conflict & Compromise….). "NHD eligible projects" must be based on local Chicago history. (Junior HF students may also look at Illinois history.)
