Getting to NHD National Contest
NHD reaches more than a half a million students around the country, U.S. Territories and international affiliates. Only around 3,000 make it to Nationals every year. That means approximately 0.6% of participating students make it to the National Contest annually.

Cuteness alert! A special guest joined the NHDAZ group at Nationals this year. Mobi is a very friendly companion, enjoying ear scratches and hugs. History and comfort dogs go well together.
