Created by House Bill 1559 in 2014, the State House Bicentennial Commission's purpose is to plan and organize educational, cultural, and commemorative events to celebrate the bicentennial of the State House.
The New Hampshire State House Bicentennial Commission (NHSHBC), on behalf of the state of New Hampshire, is pleased to offer the 2018 NH State House Bicentennial Essay Contest. A total of nine awards will be given at each regional level and at the State level.
