In 1982, in connection with his 60th birthday, Ramel founded ''Karamelodiktstipendiet'', an award given annually to a Swedish entertainer or group of entertainers, known for inventiveness and renewal in their use of [[Swedish language|Swedish]], or for important musical contributions. Ramel personally selected the recipient each year; after his death, a jury led by his daughter Lotta makes the selection. The name of the prize is a pun on ''karamell'' (piece of candy) and ''Ramel'', ''melodi'' (melody), and ''dikt'' (poem or inventive story). The award itself consists of a paper cone filled with sweets, which alludes to one of Ramel's songs, a diploma, and a sum of money which is "sufficient to make the recipient financially independent, at least for the rest of the day".<ref name="karamelodiktstipendiater">{{cite web |title=Karamelodiktstipendiater |url=https://www.povelramelsallskapet.se/index.php?action=m2&id=1&tema1=Apropovel&tema2=Karamellodikt |publisher=Povel Ramel-sällskapet |access-date=13 June 2021}}</ref> As of 2014, the prize sum was 20,000 SEK.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia | title=Karamelodiktstipendiet | encyclopedia=Nationalencyklopedin}}</ref>

The prize ceremony is held at the beginning of June each year, and it was led by Povel Ramel until 2007, when he was unable to attend due to his failing health; he died on the following day from a heart disease. From 2007 onwards, it has been hosted by Ramel's children Mikael and Lotta. The awardee is led onto the scene of the venue covered by a sheet striped in red and white (an allusion to a ''[[polkagris]]'', a form of [[Rock (confectionery)|peppermint rock]]), which is removed as the identity of the recipient is revealed through a poem written for the occasion.<ref name="karamelodiktstipendiater" />
