Established in 1993, the Association of Slovene Restorers is a voluntary association of professional conservator-restorers (currently 150 members), who have been educated in the field and have a restoration certificate. It bestows the Mirko Šubic Award and the recognitions since 2008 for achievement in the restoration.

Mission

The Association seeks to facilitate the further development of restoration practice as well as spread the knowledge on the conservation of the natural and cultural heritage among the population. Special working groups deal with issues of legislation, international co-operation and education. The Association of Slovene Restorers organises various study trips, lectures and workshops. The Association tries to fill a gap in restoration education in Slovenia - at present tertiary education in this area exists only for sculpture and painting restoration and is offered by the Department of Restoration, Academy of Fine Arts and Design.

Mirko Šubic Award

The conservator-restorers have gain its own award in 2008; until that they had to compete with the conservators for Stele Award or with the museum workers for Valvasor Award. The award is named after Mirko Šubic (1900–1976), who is found to be the most deserving of the development of modern Slovenian restoration, and a brother of the architect Vladimir Šubic. He was a Professor at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design and restored many frescos in castles and churches, including Hrastovlje, Crngrob and Olimlje.

The award is given for the life-time achievements in the field of the restoration, to honour the most deserving conservator-restorers and also to draw attention to the current issues. In addition, the Association of Slovene Restorers bestows Mirko Šubic Recognitions for important achievements in restoration in the previous year, while the Mirko Šubic Honorary Recognition is awarded to supporting members.

The previous award winners are Jedert Vodopivec Tomažič (2009) and Zoran Milić (2008).
