2,900 students from around the world competed at this year's National NHD Contest. Students traded buttons with groups from Alabama to Wyoming, South Korea to Guam.

Despite the steep competition, Georgia students had big results! Here are our top twenty and thirty finishers in their category. All of Team Georgia's results are available on georgiahumanities.org/national-history-day

More important than the results, however, are the skills students developed by creating a NHD project. From group collaboration, to research, to interviewing, our NHD Georgia students honed skills that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. The NHDGA team is so proud of every single one of you!
