The central event held under the auspices of the Literary Foundation is the international festival Lirikonfest, part of which is also Herberstein's Literary Meeting of Slovene Writers. The meeting features various symposia and involves the participation of more than 100 guests, theoreticians, translators and artists from Slovenia and abroad. The Foundation organises readings of Slovene and translated poetry called Lirikon(fest) Tastings [Lirikon(fest)ove degustacije], touring Slovenia and foreign festivals.
Awards
In cooperation with the literary association Velenika, it presents the international Pretnar Award to ambassadors of Slovene literature and language abroad and the Cup of Immortality [Čaša nesmrtnosti], an award for outstanding oeuvres of poetry or poetic drama for youth by Slovene authors that have left a mark on 21st century literature.
International Literary Residencies
Velenje Literary Foundation arranges international literary residencies for Slovene and foreign authors, translators and international mediators of contemporary literature and art with a view to supporting their creative work and promoting international cooperation in the Slovene literary space. During their creative stay, guests introduce themselves to the public through presentations and interviews.
Publications
The foundation publishes three book collections: Belodvorski, featuring literature for adults, A Chocolate with a Book [Čokolada s knjigo], aimed at children and young people, and Home and Thought [Dom in misel], consisting of monograph publications on Slovenia. In the international magazine Rp. Lirikon21 for 21st century poetry and Lirikonfest they welcome Slovene and foreign contributions in poetry and translations.
