National History Day is non-profit organization based in College Park, Maryland that operates an annual project-based contest for students in grades 6-12.

It has affiliates in all fifty states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, South Korea, China, South Asia, and Central America.

It started as a local program in Cleveland, Ohio, headed by Dr. David Van Tassell, a history professor at Case Western Reserve University.

It grew from 129 students in 1974 to over 500,000 students in 48 states in 1991, and 700,000 students and 40,000 teachers in 2001.

Today more than half a million students enter through local contests.

They construct entries as an individual or a group in one of five categories: Documentary, Exhibit, Paper, Performance or Website.

Students then compete in a series of regional contests with top entries advancing to state/affiliate contests.

The top two entries in each category and division are invited to compete at the National Contest.

Information is that which informs.

In other words, it is the answer to a question of some kind.

It is thus related to data and knowledge, as data represents values attributed to parameters, and knowledge signifies understanding of real things or abstract concepts.

As it regards data, the information's existence is not necessarily coupled to an observer (it exists beyond an event horizon, for example), while in the case of knowledge, the information requires a cognitive observer.
