The Kresnik Award is an accolade bestowed annually in June by Delo Publishing House for best novel of the year since 1991. The award was conceived by Vlado Žabot, a famous author, and he named it after a Slavic pagan deity associated with the sun, fire and summer. Though the venue often changed over the years (Muljava, Razkrižje, Ljubljana Castle), the award ceremony is now held on Rožnik Hill, located just outside the centre of Ljubljana. Every year over a hundred novels enter the selection process, while the jury chooses the nominees. The winner is announced at the ceremony where he or she receives a cash prize and is given the honour of lighting the bonfire.

The most recent winners of Kresnik Award were: Drago Jančar (2011), Tadej Golob (2010), Goran Vojnović (2009), Štefan Kardoš (2008) and Feri Lainšček (2007).
