The Slavko Grum Award is the most prestigious Slovene award for best original Slovene play. The award is presented on the occasion of the annual Slovene Drama Week at Prešeren Theatre Kranj. Since 1979, all Slovene theatres and non-permanent theatre groups can nominate one or more performances based on an original Slovene drama text for the award. The recipient of the award is selected by a jury, which also awards the Grün-Filipič Special Mention for achievement in dramaturgy.

The award is named after the Slovene playwright and doctor Slavko Grum (1901-1949), the author of the play An Event in the Town of Goga [Dogodek v mestu Gogi] (published 1930), dealing with auto-destructive aspects of Slovene consciousness, thus reflecting on an important part of national mythology.

The recipients of the 2009 Grum Award are playwrights and dramaturges Simona Semenič and Žanina Mirčevska, for their texts 5jungs.net [5fantkov.com] and the End of Atlas [Konec atlasa) respectively.
