ANNUAL HISTORY CONTEST

March 25, 2011

    The History Department of Western Kentucky University sponsors annually a History Contest for High School and Junior High (Middle) School students. Our March 25, 2011, contest will be the thirty-ninth.The contest will be in the Downing University Center Auditorium.We sincerely hope your best students will participate.

    The History Contest consists of both objective and essay examinations. Objective examinations will be administered in three areas: (1) Junior High American History, from colonial exploration through 1865, (2) Senior High American History, from 1865 to the present, and (3) Junior World History through the Middle Ages; (4) Senior High World History, Renaissance through the Cold War. The general essays for the Junior High and Senior High examinations will come from the periods described above; the general essay examination for World History will emphasize the period after 1789. A student may enter only one (1) contest.

    A student may enter only one contest since tests for all three areas will be conducted at the same time. First place winners in Senior High American History and World History will win a $1,000 scholarship to attend WKU. First place winners in Junior High American History and World History competitions will win a $500 scholarship to attend WKU. First and second place winners in each category will also receive engraved plaques. And to give appropriate recognition to a larger number of good students, silver medals are presented to the top 5 percent of contestants and bronze medals to the next 5 percent in each contest. In addition, certificates of achievement will be forwarded to those students who score in the next highest 10 percent on the objective exam.

Each year the competition has increased, as has the number of participants. We suggest that you enter only your top students. In order to finalize our plans, may we please hear from you by March 12th? We would appreciate your mentioning the Annual WKU History Contest to other history teachers who may not be aware of its existence. We will, of course, be glad to answer any questions that you may have. Please plan to participate in these contests and start preparing your best students for them.

Directions to WKU campus from I-65: On I-65 take Bowling Green Exit 26. At the end of the exit ramp, IF YOU ARE HEADING SOUTH turn right onto Cemetery Road – IF YOU ARE HEADING NORTH turn left onto Cemetery Road. (As you drive along, this road's name will change to Fairview Avenue and then change again to Sixth Street but it is all the same road.) You will travel on this road until you reach College Street. Turn left onto College (it is a one-way street). You will follow College all the way up the hill until it dead ends into College Heights Boulevard. Turn right and follow College Heights Boulevard for about blocks. The Downing University Center & Theater will be on your left. (The basketball arena is on the right.) There will be a registration desk on the main floor of Downing University Center where you may check in.

Once the bus is unloaded, the driver should continue down College Heights Boulevard to the stoplight at University Blvd. Turn left and go approximately 100 feet, then turn quickly to the right to enter Creason Lot. Or, at the University Blvd stoplight, turn right and go the equivalent of about 8 blocks the Adams Street lot to park.
