Each year, 20 books are chosen for the Texas Bluebonnet Award Master List. Schools and libraries around the state participate in the program, encouraging students to read a minimum of five books from the list. In January, students vote for their favorite title. The author of the book receiving the most votes wins the Texas Bluebonnet Award which is presented at the Texas Bluebonnet Award presentation held during the Texas Library Association (TLA) Annual Conference in the spring.
