| + | [[KantFest International| KantFest]] was launched in [[established::2003]] in Ruše as a singer-songwriter festival and contest, to which unsigned and unpublished musicians can apply. There are no limits regarding the genre of music, for it can range from guitar-based folk to rap, but the festival's focal point are of course the lyrics. The most original singer-songwriters are selected by a jury of renowned musicians. The award's name "Kanta" is based on the wordplay of the name of the festival and translates to English as "bin". The name also alludes to the waste and hyper-productivity of our consumer society, which mainly rewards quantity and not the quality of the music. Kantfest is usually structured as a two-day festival, where musicians first present themselves in Ljubljana, and the next day the competition and announcement of the best three competitors takes place in Ruše. | ||

Over the years the festival has grown, become traditional and also offered some international exchanges where Slovene singer-songwriters were asked to perform abroad as well as foreign singer-songwriters performed on Slovene ground. Since the organisers believe female singer-songwriters are scarcely represented in the singer-songwriters scene, they dedicated one evening in 2007 in Ljubljana solely to female singer-songwriters.
