The Historical Association, in collaboration with the Spirit of Normandy Trust (dedicated to education about the historical signifi cance of World War II), is asking pupils to write about history in an incisive, interesting and critical way for its annual awards. Pupils aged 11-19 are asked to investigate, analyse and write about a topic in local history, the modern world, World War I or any aspects of 20th-century history. Primary-aged children are invited to think about local history, the ancient world and British involvement in World War II. If you think your students could be the next Margaret MacMillan or Antony Beevor, make sure they enter before 24 July. For more details, visit
