There are two deadlines; the first is for the Research and Creative Writing Papers on Friday, February 2nd, the second is for Exhibits, Artwork and Performances on Sunday, February 25th from 3pm-5pm OR Monday, February 26th from 5pm-7pm.  All entries must submit ONE Registration form prior to the deadline.  Research and Creative Writing Papers can be attached to the registration form, mailed or e-mailed.  Please see the Rules attached for more details.

Every year for the past 11 years, the Texas Heroes Foundation has given out thousands of dollars in awards and scholarships during the Student Texas History Fair Awards Ceremony.  This year’s Awards Ceremony will be held on Friday, March 1st at the Acton United Methodist Church at 6:30pm starting with a reception at 5:30pm.
