Veronika Award

Last updated

The Veronika Award (Slovene : Veronikina nagrada) is a literary award awarded yearly for the best Slovene poetry collection in Slovenia. It has been bestowed since 1997 by the Municipality of Celje at the Veronika Festival at Celje Castle. The festival and the award are named after Veronika of Desenice, wife of Frederick II, Count of Celje, accused of witchcraft, incarcerated in Ojstrica Castle and murdered in around 1425. [1] The winner receives a financial award. [2] Since 2005, a separate Poetry Gold Medal has been bestowed on a poet for their life achievement contributing to the richness of Slovene poetry, language and culture. [3]
