Films selected for the competition programme are running for the Vesna Award (named after the Slovene 1954 film classic Vesna made by František Čap), bestowed by the Festival's five-member jury in 17 different categories. Other festival awards are: the Metod Badjura Award for lifetime achievement, named after the first Slovene film director of photography Metod Badjura and bestowed by the Society of Slovene Film Artists; the Kodak Award for best cinematography; the FIPRESCI Slovenia Award for Best Picture bestowed by the three-members jury of the International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI), Slovenia. Awards are also given by various other associations and companies and by Stop Media magazine.
