ELIOT ROSEWATER

​INDIANA HIGH SCHOOL BOOK AWARD​

​The Eliot Rosewater Indiana High School Book Award (Rosie Award) is chosen annually by students across Indiana in grades nine through twelve. Students at participating high schools, public libraries, or homeschoolers who read any of approximately 20 nominated books are eligible to rate each book they've read. The purpose of the Rosie Award is to encourage independent reading among high school students. It also promotes cooperation between school administrators, media specialists, teachers, and public librarians in broadening reading programs. Rosie promotes reading across the curriculum.

Eliot Rosewater is a recurring fictional character in Kurt Vonnegut's novels.

Vonnegut is a famous Hoosier author who grew up in Indianapolis.

This award was named to honor him and all Indiana writers.

The award is often referred to as the "Rosie Award" or "Rosie".
