The prize is endowed with 5000 €. The winner always receives a solo exhibition in the Leonora Carrington Hall of the Max Ernst Museum Brühl of the LVR, for which the LVR produces an accompanying catalogue.

The award's name giver, Luise Straus (1893, Cologne – 1944, Auschwitz concentration camp), was an art historian, journalist specialising in art and culture and one of the first female art historians to gain a doctorate. Luise Straus was the first wife of the surrealist artist Max Ernst.
