Regional contests run in communities around the state, plus a remote contest submitted online, and the Wyoming State History Day Competition is scheduled for May 3, 2027 at the University of Wyoming Union in Laramie.
Wyoming students in grades 6-12. A participant must compete in a regional or virtual contest to be eligible for the state competition; regional coordinators provide registration instructions through whd@uwyo.edu.
