Launched in 1989 by the Maribor branch office of the Public Fund for Cultural Activities, the Naša pesem ('Our song') Choir Competition is a national event held annually with the support of Municipality of Maribor. The organizers had extended the competition on international level in 1992. The competition was then upgraded with International Choral Competition in Maribor, with which it alternates every two years.

Course of competition

Followed by the opening concert, each year around 20 choirs compete for gold, silver and bronze plaque and diplomas at four competition concerts, which are usually followed by the final concert by the best choirs. After each concert, so called CEZURA! Time for choral talk is organized. It is usually led by recognized conductors and the conversation usually goes about choral trends, preparations for the competition, international competitions, concert programs, and so on. There are five members of jury each year, three of them are Slovene.

Obligatory programme

The obligatory programme for participants mustn’t be longer than 16 minutes and has to include two original Slovene choral compositions, a motet and a piece of choice. One of the pieces can be performed with instrumental accompaniment, solos are allowed in reasonable lengths.

Since 2004 the competition has been followed by a programme entitled 'A Totally Different Song', which features innovative approaches to singing.
