Eligible books must be authored by a U.S. citizen. The winner is selected by a panel of three judges who are appointed by a selection committee. The committee includes the Librarian of Congress, the Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry, and a judge nominated by the Bobbitt family.

The winner receives $10,000.
