Since its founding in [[established::1992]], [[Vurberk Folk Pop Festival]] has been annually hosting select "folk-pop music" ensembles at the grounds of the Vurberk Castle (located between Maribor and Ptuj, in eastern Slovenia). It accepts only groups that feature a diatonic accordion and utilise two or more voices. Each year, it presents about a dozen ensembles that compete for various prizes &ndash; for best lyrics, best vocal performances, best overall song and a few others.

The festivals are recorded and aired by [[RTV Slovenia Regional Broadcasting Centre Maribor]], and the resulting CD is annually published by the [[Discography Unit, RTV Slovenia]]. As of recent years, there is also a pre-event, where the finalists are chosen.
