Founded byLiberal Academy, Association for Political Democracy and Liberalism Research

The Golden Bird Award (Zlata ptica) was presented for the first time in 1975. Since 1994 it has been granted by the Liberal Academy, Association for Political Democracy and Liberalism Research. The Executive Board of the Liberal Academy elects 5 members from different artistic fields to form the Golden Bird Committee, and every spring this independent board bestows up to 5 awards for recent achievements in different artistic disciplines by emerging and promising authors, individuals or groups, with a focus on an innovative approach.

The Golden Bird Awards are granted to young innovative artists who have delivered new contents and aesthetic procedures and whose work demonstrates a different understanding of production, presentation, and distribution of artworks. The recipients of the 2008 Golden Bird Awards were: Vesna Lemaić for literature, Daša Doberšek for performing arts, Luka Juhart for music, Mark Požlep for visual arts, and Marko Naberšnik for film.

Since 2005, the jury also awards the Golden Nest Award, aimed at encouraging the creation of production conditions that enhance the very creativity. So far it went to Odprti krog for architecture and urbanism (2008), PreGlej for the development of contemporary playwriting (2007), P74 Centre and Gallery (2006), and OTOK Cultural Institute.
