During the years 1972 through 2004, the prize was awarded annually by the Amsterdam Foundation for the Arts. The award was discontinued from 2005, when the Amsterdam Foundation merged it with the Amsterdam Award for the Arts (Amsterdamprijs voor de Kunst).

In March 2009, the Nederlands Foundation for Stage Arts announced it will renew the prize. The prize money is €20,000.
