The prize is endowed with 35,000 euros. In addition, an associated sponsorship award, endowed with 15,000 euros, will be given to young authors for texts that deal with a topic set by the winner.

The first prize winner in 2018 was the Austrian author Petra Piuk , who was awarded for an excerpt from her novel Toni und Moni or: Instructions for the homeland novel .

The theme formulated by Piuk for the 2018 sponsorship award was “Behind the fence - what brings home to talk?”. The prize was split up and given to the authors Sophie Baumberg , Magdalena Kotzurek and Leona Stahlmann , who each received 5000 euros.

The Austrian writer Thomas Stangl received the award for 2019 for his story Die Toten von Zimmer 105 .
