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 Slovene play or text and staged in the last season by Slovene theatres. The festival, which usually runs for nearly 2 weeks, concludes with a ceremony at which several awards are bestowed. The Grum Award is given for the best original Slovene play and the Award for a young playwright is given to the best play written by a young Slovene playwright. The Grün-Filipič Award is awarded for excellence in dramaturgy. Two awards are given for the best staging of a Slovene play appearing at the festival: the Šeligo Award, decided on by an expert jury, and the Audience Award, voted for by the festival audience.

Besides showcasing national productions, the programme also includes presentations of international stagings of Slovene plays. Thus far, 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 round-table 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 Nominees' days, which are intended for comprehensive presentations of nominated plays and are created in cooperation with the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (AGRFT) and the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana.
