The award is only given to those who either live or work or have a close connection with the city of Rotterdam. The award is given once every three years.

The award was established in 1965 and first awarded in 1966. Early on, the award was given for a specific work but as of 1981 the award is given for someone's entire oeuvre. {{As of|2015}}, the award is organised by the Passionate Bulkboek organisation.
