Hi, I have been involved in this competition for a few years now, and am currently preparing for the state competition. The only thing is that I don’t quite get what the judges look for. Last year, I had high expectations, but did not make it to the finals. And of the documentaries I did see, the bet (in my opinion) took 6th and the worst (in my opinion) took 2nd. My questions are: Is depth better than breadth? Is the amount of research a huge factor? And what kind of project do they like? (e.g. persuasive, creative, informative, etc) Thank you in advance for your help and good luck to every other NHD competitor! :)
