The Iris Award  is a reading collaboration program between international Schools. Students in over 20 participating schools read books throughout the school year.  In May they vote for their favorite books.  All student votes are added up and the Award goes to the book with most votes.  Winners are announced the first week of June. The Iris Award Bookbowl is an accompanying quiz program where students organize themselves in teams to ultimately compete with teams from other participating schools at the yearly Iris Award Interschool Bookbowl Final.
