The Kids' Lit Quiz is an annual literature competition, in which teams of four students work together to answer wide-ranging literary questions. The winning team from each region competes in the national final. The winner of the national final is then invited to the World Final held annually in July. Since its inception in 1991, thousands of students have participated each year throughout the world.

The quiz was created by Wayne Mills, an educator at the University of Auckland, who wears a purple and black hat while hosting this literary quiz. In 2008 Wayne Mills was given the Storylines Margaret Mahy Medal and Lecture Award [ [http://www.storylines.org.nz/awards.asp?pid=56 Storylines: Margaret Mahy Medal] ] to recognize his achievement in establishing the Kids' Lit Quiz.

The Kids' Lit Quiz motivates and inspires children to read a wide range of children's literature from the classics to the contemporary, from nursery rhymes to comics, and from folk tales to myths. It offers children rewards they may not otherwise experience in the classroom setting.

Currently, the quiz takes place in New Zealand, the UK, China and South Africa. Singapore and Hong Kong are expected to become a part of the world circuit in 2008.

The 2007 winner was Wellington College, Belfast.

The 2008 world final was held on 10 July at the Oxford Playhouse in Oxford. The winner was Arnold House School from London. [ [http://kidslitquiz.com/World/2008.html 2008 results] ]
