The Kids' Lit Quiz World Final 2008

The 2008 World Final will be held in Oxford, UK on 10 July 2008 with KLQ National Champions from China, New Zealand, South Africa and UK, plus regional winners Northern Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales.

The Oxford Playhouse will host the KLQ World Final. Over 25 well-known children's writers will be there and 500 school children from local Oxfordshire schools, with teachers, librarians, family and friends in the audience to watch the action unfold. Tickets are free and available directly from the Oxford Playhouse - there are still a few seats left, so do ring and reserve a seat.

The finalists are the same children who took part in their local regional heats, and then went on to win their National Finals. They are also enjoying a week of cultural events in and around Oxford as part of their prize for reaching the World Final.
