Mednarodna literarna nagrada KONS






KONS Literary Award is an annual international literary accolade presented to exceptional authors whose stance and work have fostered social change and engagement, as well as contributed toward better conditions for artistic creativity. The award was launched in 2011 on the initiative of three literary authors, Taja Kramberger, Barbara Korun, and Tatjana Jamnik. The name is taken from a series of poems by renowned Slovene poet Srečko Kosovel, which epitomises the perennial need for social change, criticism, and constructivism. The first award ceremony was held at Pavelhaus in Austria, where author, painter, and translator Iztok Osojnik was honoured as the first award winner.
