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 June, in Auckland, New Zealand.

The brainchild of Wayne Mills. Wayne Mills is an educator at the University of Auckland, who wears a wonderfully silly purple hat when enthusiastically hosting this increasingly popular literary quiz. Since its inception in 1991, thousands of students currently participate each year throughout the world.

Currently, the quiz takes place in New Zealand, the UK, China and South Africa.
