Named after Rihard Jakopič, an important Slovene impressionist painter who worked at the beginning of the 20th century, the Rihard Jakopič Award is the highest award in the field of fine arts in Slovenia. Since 1969 it is bestowed annually to a Slovene artist, who lives and works in Slovenia or abroad, and is a member of the Union of Slovene Fine Arts Associations (ZDSLU). The artist is prized for his/her life opus or the artistic achievements of the last 5 years.


Candidates may be nominated by a cultural institution, by a fine arts association, by the Slovene Academy of Sciences and Arts (SAZU), by the Ministry of Culture, or by an individual.

The winner is selected by a special board consisting each year of new members from four institutions (two from each): Museum of Modern Art, Academy of Fine Arts and Design, Union of Slovene Fine Arts Associations (ZDSLU), and the Association of Slovene Art Critics.

The artist receives remuneration and a solo exhibition in one of Ljubljana's esteemed galleries.
