Slovenske pravljice v Stripu, by Matjaž Schmidt, winner of the Levstik Lifetime Achievement Award, 2009

The Levstik Award, named after author Fran Levstik (1831–1887), has been bestowed by Mladinska knjiga Publishing House since 1949 for original literary works, non-fiction works for children, and illustrations, as well as for lifetime achievement in writing and illustration. It was the first literary award established by a Slovene publishing house after World War II and has contributed significantly to the recognition of quality children’s and young adult literature.

Only books published by Mladinska knjiga Publishing House are eligible for the award, although the award committee is composed of outside members. Initially the award was presented annually and since 1991 it has been presented biennially.
