Global Church History Competition
Share history that hasn’t been heard. As a new initiative, members and friends of the Church around the world are encouraged to participate in a competition hosted by the Church History Department. The theme for 2024 is “Great Shall Be the Peace of Thy Children."
The Church History Department is sponsoring a global competition to support and recognize excellence in Latter-day Saint historical storytelling and research.
Cash prizes, publication, and collaboration opportunities will be awarded for high-quality submissions.
Submissions will be accepted in the following categories:
• Personal narrative
• Local history
• Student research paper
• Academic research article
Deadline: April 12, 2024
We welcome students, amateur or independent historians, professional academics, storytellers, people who want to tell their own personal story, people who have received permission to tell other people’s stories, oral historians, university researchers, etc. (see FAQ for more details).
Competitions will be held regionally and judged by a panel of local history experts.
