The biannual International Youth Choir Festival is the oldest competition in Slovenia, established in 1946. It got its competitive nature in 1963.It is made up of competitions which are open to children's, youths’ and girls' choirs, with each competing choir being expected to perform four works – an obligatory Renaissance or early Baroque composition, a Romantic composition, a composition written after 1985 and one free choice composition.

Choirs originally perform a-cappella, one of their songs can be instrumentally accompanied. The programme mustn’t be longer that 15 minutes.

The international five-member jury awards gold, silver and prize medals and special prizes for the best performance of a certain composition. The festival’s music committee selects a maximum of 18 choirs for entry in the competition. Choirs and conductors were since 1997 accompanied by distinguished jury members: Damijan Močnik, Johannes Rahe, Malcolm Goldring, Johan van Bouwelen and so on.

The choirs from all over Europe accepted the invitation to the festival and so far choirs from Italy, Germany, Austria, Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia, Portugal, Russia, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Ireland, Belarus, Ukraine, Romania , Bulgaria, Poland, Estonia, Sweden and Great Britain have participated through the years.
