| Description | Reader's choice award for K-3rd Illinois students |

The Monarch Award was established in 2003 by the Illinois school library media association (ISLMA) to help Kindergarten through 3rd grade readers become familiar with books, illustrators and authors; encourage children to read critically; and to develop a statewide awareness of outstanding literature for children.[1]
The award name and image was chosen as a symbol of growth, change and freedom[2] and to help familiarize students with the state's insect.[3]
Award Process
The award is given annually (beginning in 2005)[4] to a single author and/or illustrator by a collective vote of Kindergarten through 3rd grade students in Illinois.[5] The award is administered by a steering committee that seeks nominations from public librarians, school library media specialist, teachers, and students.[1]. A volunteer reading committee then forms a master list of 20 of the nominated titles which include a range of interests and reading levels as well as 3 of each of the following types of children's books:
- Picture books
- Easy readers
- Chapter books
Students vote in February of each year for their favorite from the master list and the results are announced the following month.
Criteria for nomination
- Nominator must have read the book
- Book copyrighted within the past 5 years
- Be in print at the time of selection
- Author and/or illustrator must be living at the time of selection of mater list
- Book must be of interest and appeal to children in grades kindergarten through 3rd grade
- Must have literary merit

- No title or series may be on two consecutive master lists
