The award is a collaboration between Reykjavik Arts Festival, The Icelandic Regional Development Institute and Icelandair. The patron is President's spouse Björn Skúlason. 

Eyrarrósin is awarded every other year. The main award is given to a project which has been running for more than three years and it comes with a 2,5 million ISK prize. Three Encouragement Awards of 750.000 ISK are also handed out to projects which have been running for three years or less.
