The African Nova Scotian History Challenges are back for 2023-2024!
The African Nova Scotian History Challenges recognize students whose submissions best exemplify the contributions of African Nova Scotians to the history, heritage, and culture of Nova Scotia. Online form registration is mandatory for all entries.
For 2024, we’re continuing with our hybrid model. This approach makes the Challenges stimulating and accessible, encouraging historical inquiry and artistic expression across various mediums for students at all educational levels.
Check out this year’s brochure for all the details on the six Challenges. And be sure to read our rules and regulations before submitting your entries.
Entries accepted from December 1, 2023 to February 29, 2024 .

Challenges
The Challenges offer students a unique opportunity to explore and showcase their insights into African Nova Scotian history in innovative ways. Participation in these challenges is not only about learning history, but also about developing skills and confidence for their future educational paths.
We encourage students and teachers to immerse themselves in the African Nova Scotian History Challenges, sharing their projects and excitement on social media.
