The award is presented every year in January by a jury of writers.

The complete review called it the "leading Serbian literary prize" in 2012.

“Woman does not forget she needs the fecundator, she does not forget that everything that is born of her is planted in her.”
—Anaïs Nin (1903–1977)
“Eternall God, O thou that onely art
The sacred Fountain of eternall light,
And blessed Loadstone of my better part;
O thou my heart’s desire, my soul’s delight,
Reflect upon my soul, and touch my heart,
And then my heart shall prize no good above thee;
And then my soul shall know thee; knowing, love thee;
And then my trembling thoughts shall never start
From thy commands, or swerve the least degree,
Or once presume to move, but as they move in thee.”
—Francis Quarles (1592–1644)
