"The prize, consisting of book publication in bilingual edition, is dedicated to finding the best manuscripts of poetry in English by an American poet of Italian descent and surname (or middle/ maiden surname.) The emphasis is on quality poetry, not Italian-American themes.
The winning manuscript is put into quality translations of modern Italian by a native Italian each year commissioned by the press. For the benefit of American poets of identifiable Italian ancestry, the prize fosters the preservation of the Italian language among Italian American writers and the public at large.
Each winning manuscript is awarded a cash prize of $1,000 to the winning poet and $1,000 for a commissioned translator. The poet's bilingual book is published by Bordighera Press in the following year, and celebrated with a bilingual reading and reception at Poets House in New York City."
