The international Pranger Festival, a meeting of poets, critics, and poetry translators, was organised for the first time in 2004) in Rogaška Slatina and Šmarje pri Jelšah by the KUD Pranger Cultural Association. In 2025 it takes place in Radovljica, Ljubljana and Kranj, while the ELA Programme for Children remains in Rogaška Slatina.

The festival is named after the "pranger", a medieval pillory or public humiliation device which was set up in the centre of some Slovenian villages, since the festival's concept is to disclose the literary word to the public, from literary critics, theoreticians and translators, to readers and other writers. Meetings, panel discussions and readings of poetry are organised during the five-day event. On this occasion the Slovene Writers’ Association bestows an annual Stritar Award to the most promising literary critic.
