The award is presented every year in January by a jury of writers. In addition to being a highly reputable award capable of transforming the writer's literary career, NIN Prize is also sought after because it virtually assures the recipient of the bestseller status for his/her novel. The complete review called it the "leading Serbian literary prize" in 2012.
Oskar Davičo is the only author to win the award three times, and the only one to win it in two consecutive years. So far, four women were recipients of the award.

Famous quotes containing the words nin and/or prize:
“The violence and obscenity are left unadulterated, as manifestation of the mystery and pain which ever accompanies the act of creation.”
—Anaïs Nin (1903–1977)
“I prize the purity of his character as highly as I do that of hers. As a moral being, whatever it is morally wrong for her to do, it is morally wrong for him to do. The fallacious doctrine of male and female virtues has well nigh ruined all that is morally great and lovely in his character: he has been quite as deep a sufferer by it as woman, though mostly in different respects and by other processes.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
