At the 25th Urška Festival of Young Literature in Slovenj Gradec, Ana Vida Resnik from Medvode was named the ‘Uršljanka’ for 2026. Selected by national selector Dr. Nina Dragičević from four finalists, the award was granted to a text submitted under the code ‘Sapfična’. 

In a related development regarding young Slovenian authors, Urška Kavkler from the Poljčane municipality published ‘Ko je vas živela’. The book, which grew from a seventh-grade research project into a collection of local testimonies and memories, was supported by the Poljčane Municipality to help preserve local cultural heritage.
