The Evergreen Teen Book Award, sponsored by the Washington Young Adult Review Group, has been sharing books with teens since 1992.  Each year the Evergreen Committee, made up of school and public librarians, selects from a list of titles nominated by librarians and educators for consideration. The committee looks for a variety of titles that deserve to be highlighted and are popular with teens.

The nominees are announced at the end of March each year. Students around the state of Washington are encouraged to read at least two of the ten nominees on the list and vote for their favorite in the following March. Winners are announced at the start of April every year.
