Please be prepared at least 20 minutes before your scheduled interview time. If the judges are ready early, they may call you in before your scheduled time. You are responsible for the placement and removal of all props or equipment used in your entry. All exhibits must be in place in the exhibit hall before 9:15 a.m. We ask that students with exhibits leave their projects up until 3:00 p.m. so that the public may have an opportunity to see their work. Michigan His-tory Day, the Historical Society of Michigan, and DeWitt High School are not responsible for lost, sto-len, or damaged items. We understand that you want to give your students all the moral support you can, but please note that ex-hibit, paper, and website judging is not open to the public. Exhibits will be open to the public after judging, and paper and website entries will be on display later as well. Please DO NOT TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS during per-formances and documentaries or at any time during the judging. Also, please do not enter a room while judging is taking place. It is distracting for both the students and the judges. Thank you!
