Each year, the Associates sponsor two prizes for entries in the topical prize category: The History of European Expansion, as part of the Minnesota History Day competition.

To be eligible for consideration for this topical prize, participating student entries must address issues specifically related to the geo-political expansion of Europe between ca. 1350 and ca. 1800, and link these issues to the annual History Day theme in a meaningful way. The prize for each winning entry is $100.00.


2010 Theme: Innovation in History: Impact & Change.
Direct questions about eligible topics (for this prize only) to:
