Ana Vida Resnik named Uršljanka 2026

Ana Vida Resnik has been named the Uršljanka for 2026 at the 25th Urška Festival of Young Literature. The announcement took place during the festival's central event at the Slovenj Gradec Cultural Center.

Resnik, from Medvode, was selected from four finalists—Amadeja Rek, Aljoša Toplak, Lara Višnjevec, and herself—by national selector Dr. Nina Dragičević. The award was granted to a text submitted under the code ‘Sapfična’.

The Urška festival, organized by the Public Fund of the Republic of Slovenia for Cultural Activities, has spent twenty-five years supporting young literary voices, guiding them from initial texts to published works. Resnik, whose creative interests include poetry, music production, and visual arts, described the award as a significant confirmation of her creative path.
