Show-Me Awards Promote Missouri History Knowledge, Awareness of State’s Bicentennial in 2021

Hannah Scott, Odessa

Hannah Scott of Odessa is a three-time winner of the Show-Me Prize. She received the 2014, 2015, and 2017 awards for senior individual exhibit.

The State Historical Society’s Show-Me Awards encourage National History Day in Missouri students to investigate a key development in Missouri history or explore how a Missourian contributed to a significant national or international event. Students chosen for the awards receive $50, learn more about their state, and have a chance to see their work included in Missouri’s bicentennial observances.

The awards were created in 2014 to promote engagement with Missouri history among National History Day participants and to raise awareness of the upcoming 200th anniversary of Missouri joining the Union on August 10, 1821.

Each year, the State Historical Society of Missouri issues up to five awards of $50 each to students presenting individual entries on Missouri history topics in the senior division of the state competition. The award recipients grant the Society permission to showcase their National History Day projects in promotional efforts for Missouri’s bicentennial. Students must apply for the awards in order to be considered.

Learn more about special prizes through the application. Be sure to have students apply before March 30.
