2021 Virtual Regional History Day Contest Category Results Throughout March 2021, all twelve of Minnesota History Day’s Regional events were virtual competitions. Entries from different Regions competed separately within the virtual Regional, and top entries were selected from each Region to participate in State History Day. ● State Qualifiers: State Qualifiers are eligible to participate in Virtual Minnesota State History Day, which will take place virtually in mid-April/early May. State Qualifiers will get an automatically generated email from ZFairs with registration instructions. State Registration is due Thursday, April 15 by 7:59 PM. You are allowed and encouraged to make improvements to your project before State. State Qualifiers are not ranked. ● Honorable Mentions: Honorable Mention can be awarded by the judges for a variety of reasons related to excellence in the project or the process of creating the entry. Honorable Mentions are not runners up to State Qualifiers and are not ranked. Judge feedback for all students will be made available digitally from their ZFairs profile on Monday, March 29. We would like to extend a special thanks to the many volunteer judges who made the virtual competition possible.
