The Utah History Fair, Utah's affiliate of the National History Day program, turns kids into historians. It gets them involved in primary historical research and provides a series of competitions where they can present their findings. History Fair students can choose their own topic from any era of history. Based on their interests and abilities, they can also choose the method of presenting their information. There are four presentation categories: students may build an exhibit, write an historical paper, produce an audio-visual documentary, or create a dramatic performance. Participants can advance through a whole network of history fairs. Regional finalists go on to the State History Fair, and state finalists are invited to National History Day, the national history fair in Washington, D.C.
