According to Paul Sauer (1975), the prize, endowed with 3,000 Reichsmarks, could only be won by authors "whose political and literary good behavior was beyond any doubt." Reichsstatthalter Murr and Reich Propaganda Minister Doctor Goebbels "took place. According to the latest research, literary prizes such as the Swabian Poets' Prize were intended to "support financially and promote writers who were ideologically close to the Nazi regime".

As a result of the award, which was reported in newspapers and magazines, the winners gained greater national recognition and - not unimportant also for the publishers - an increase in circulation. Veit Bürkle, for example, is said to have made his breakthrough with the Swabian Poets' Prize in 1937.
