Eight awards are presented in the categories: “Bulgarian Publishing House”; “Author of Bulgarian Fiction”; “Translator of Fiction”; “Author in the Field of Humanities”; "Author of a children's publication"; "Artist or design and layout of a book"; "Presentation of the Bulgarian book" and "Library work".
The grand prize is for an overall contribution to the national literary culture.
