Finn Atkins with the Vicious Cat Award for Eden Lake at the Grossmann Fantastic Film and Wine Festival 2009
The Vicious Cat Awards are presented annually at the Grossmann Fantastic Film and Wine Festival in Ljutomer. The Vicious Cat [Hudi maček] Award is bestowed for best feature film and for the wine champion of the festival, while the Honorary Vicious Cat Award [Častni hudi maček] honours someone's lifetime achievements (since 2007 the award winners have been Slobodan Šijan, Roger Corman, Ruggero Deodato, Sam Firstenberg, Christina Lindberg and others).
In 2008 the Slak's Vicious Cat [Slakov hudi maček] Award for the best short film was introduced and named after the Slovene film director Franci Slak (1953–2007) who had been actively involved at the festival since its inception. The Noisy Cat [Hrupni maček] Award is bestowed for the best music documentary.

Each June, the medieval Lent district along the Drava River, the historic squares, picturesque streets of the Old Town, and even the mighty city park emerge as festival venues bursting with art, culture, and creativity. With thirty years of tradition, Lent Festival is one of the oldest and largest open-air festivals in Central Europe. Every year, it welcomes about two hundred thousand visitors; almost every fourth Slovene has visited it at least once. It celebrates art, culture, and creativity of all genres for all generations, providing a space for discovery, learning, meeting, and coexisting in a variety of cultures. For the thirtieth time, the festival will transform the city into a giant stage and a vibrant meeting point for artistic expressions. Lent is a member of the International Festivals and Events Association (IFEA) and the Association of Slovene Festivals (SloFA).
