It takes place on two locations: in the village Dol pri Hrastniku and at the homestead Pri Kovačevih in the village Volčji Grad. It has been run by the Slovenian Association of Literary Translators in collaboration with the municipality of Hrastnik, Cultural and recreational center Hrastnik and the homestead Pri Kovačevih.
