At the beginning of every year Pivec Publishing House invites authors to apply for the tournament by submitting at least one unpublished Slovenian poem. A jury consisting of experts on contemporary poetry then chooses 24 poems, after which the selected authors compete in two semi-final poetry tournaments. There the poets give interpretations of their work, among which four poems are chosen by the jury with an additional two by the audience; in the final round of the tournament twelve poems therefore compete for the title of Knight or Dame of Poetry, a cash prize, and a hand-forged iron rose. Audience members are also given a chance to select their favourite poem.

The poems presented at the finale are published in the Poetry Tournament journal and literary magazine Rp. Lirikon21.
