| − | [[KantFest International|KantFest]] was launched in [[established::2003]] in the small-town of Ruše as a singer-songwriter festival and contest, to which unsigned and unpublished musicians can apply. There are no limits regarding the genre of music, anything from guitar-based folk to rap is welcome, but the festival's focal point is on the lyrics. The most original singer-songwriters are selected by a jury of renowned musicians. The award's name, ''Kanta'' is based on a wordplay of the name of the festival and translates to English as "bin". The name also alludes to the waste and hyper-productivity of our consumer society, which mainly rewards quantity and not the quality of the music. Kantfest is usually structured as a 2-day festival, where musicians first present themselves in Ljubljana, and the following day the competition and announcement of the best three singer-songwriters continues in Ruše. | + | [[KantFest International|KantFest]] was launched in [[established::2003]] in the small-town of Ruše as a singer-songwriter festival and contest, to which unsigned and unpublished musicians can apply.

Over the years, the festival has grown, instituted some annual traditions, and even offered some international exchanges where Slovene singer-songwriters were invited to perform abroad and foreign singer-songwriters were invited to perform on Slovene stages. Since the organisers believe that females are scarcely represented in the singer-songwriter scene, they dedicated one evening in 2007 in Ljubljana solely to female singer-songwriters.
