Prešeren Award

Prešeren Award

Prešeren Award (the so-called "Grand Prešeren Award") ( _sl. Prešernova nagrada) is the highest decoration in the field of artistic and in the past also scientific creation in Slovenia awarded each year to one or two eminent Slovene artists. It has been bestowed since 1947 on the 8 February national cultural holiday which commemorates the anniversary of the death of Slovene Romantic poet and liberal mind France Prešeren. Since 1962 it has been conferred only for exceptional achievements in the field of arts. Members of the Awards Board are representatives of various artistic disciplines who are nominated by the government and elected in Parliament.
