This district is named for Voltaire Twombly, who was earned the Congressional Medal of Honor for his heroic efforts as a flag bearer for the 2nd Iowa Infantry at the Battle of Fort Donnelson (Tennessee) in the Civil War.
In 2022, the National History Day in Iowa district contests have moved to a virtual format and will take place in late February and March. Volunteer judges are needed to help evaluate student projects and create a positive experience for Iowa's young historians. Judges must be 18 years old or older to participate. Please watch this video to better understand the role of judges in the virtual district contests.
NHD in Iowa is now using zFairs, the official NHD software platform. All judges need to register in zFairs and use the platform to write and submit evaluations and rank sheets. Judges will work on teams of two and must schedule time to meet and confer after viewing the projects but before submitting evaluations and rank sheets.
Please see this document for instructions about how to register as a judge for one or more district contest in zFairs.
