It is granted annually "to an author who has a distinguished career and whose work is a notable addition to the cultural and artistic dialogue of Ibero-America."

The prize consists of US$60,000, a medal, and a diploma.[1]

In 2012, for the first time, its prose counterpart was presented: the Manuel Rojas Ibero-American Narrative Award, in honor of the author of Hijo de ladrón, which on that occasion was won by the Brazilian Rubem Fonseca.[2]
