The award is now open to all New Hampshire  students in grades 7-8. Voting is done annually in April.

The Flume: NH Teen Readers' Choice Award was created in 2005 in response to  New Hampshire teens' request to have a book award geared towards high school students. This award is a state-wide venture led by a collaborative effort from school and public librarians. Each year teens nominate titles, published within the last two years, they think deserve to be recognized. Librarians then narrow the group of titles to a  list of 13. Teens then vote for the  winning title from the list of 13 annually in April.
