The [[Grum Award|Slavko Grum Award]] is the most prestigious playwriting award in Slovenia, presented annually for the best new Slovenian play. The award is presented on the occasion of the [[Slovene Drama Week|Week of Slovenian Drama]] at the [[Prešeren Theatre Kranj]]. Since [[established::1979]], Slovenian playwrights can submit their plays for the award. The recipient is selected by a jury, which also awards the [[Grün-Filipič Award]] for achievements in dramaturgy. Each year during the festival, the nominated plays are the focus of The Day of the Nominees, at which acting students of the [[Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (AGRFT)|Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (UL AGRFT)]] present staged readings of the plays, which are later discussed with members of the local audience and the professional theatre community. 

The Slavko Grum Award is a crucial component of the long-term objective of the Week of Slovenian Drama to foster and promote Slovenian playwriting at home and abroad.e
