History is EPIC. Let’s deliver it in an EPIC way.
My EPIC Era is back with another great History competition for schools and pupils throughout the UK, brought to you by 60 second histories. 
My EPIC Era puts pupils in the driving seat, allowing them to share their passion and knowledge of their favourite historical era.
Launched on 9th January My EPIC Era 2017 will be open for entries until the 31 March 2017.
The winners will write, direct and even star in the films which will be shared on the 60 second histories’ website for all schools to use.
How to enter
Entry is online at http://myepicera.co.uk
The entrants are asked to name their favourite era in history and tell us all about it in the most creative way they can – they can write about it, draw it, make it – they can even sing or film it! Whatever works for their era and topic.
