Both books written in Polish and translated into Polish are eligible for the award and can be submitted by the authors themselves, publishing houses, cultural institutions as well as members of the award committee. The award carries a cash prize of PLN 200,000 ($50,000) for the winner and PLN 50,000 ($15,000) for the translator, which makes it one of the most valued literary prizes in Poland.[2][3][4][5]
