Organised annually by the Prešeren Theatre Kranj since 1971, the prestigious theatre festival Week of Slovenian Drama presents the most successful performances based on a Slovenian text and staged in the last season by Slovenian or foreign theatres. The festival, which runs for nearly 2 weeks, concludes with an awards ceremony. Among the bestowed awards are two distinguished ones supporting playwriting, the Slavko Grum Award for the best new Slovenian play and the Young Playwright Award, as well as the Grün-Filipič Award for excellence in dramaturgy. In addition, two awards are given for the best performances at the festival: the Šeligo Award, decided by an expert jury, and the Audience Award, voted by the festival audience.

Besides showcasing national productions, the programme also includes presentations of international stagings of Slovenian plays. The festival has hosted performances from Austria, Japan, Montenegro, Great Britain, Serbia, Slovakia, Luxembourg, etc. Prešeren Theatre Kranj works hard to further expand the international part of the festival by devising roundtable discussions involving famous dramatists, experts on theatre, producers, and publishers.

An important contribution to the promotion of the creation of Slovenian drama are annual playwriting workshops led by prominent playwrights from Slovenia and abroad, as well as reading performances and Days of the Nominees, intended for comprehensive presentations of nominated plays and created in cooperation with the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (UL AGRFT) and the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana.
