The awarded poem titled "Iskalci križišč" was the only one from Slovenia to enter this year's final selection. The 21-member professional jury assessed the poem Iskalci križišč in its original version in Slovene, as well as in its Italian and English translations. The English version was created on the basis of the collaboration with Veronika Piccinini, BA (Hons), also a member of the School of Humanities at the University of Nova Gorica. The Italian and English translations of her poem will be published in the anthology, whereas the official CD will contain the original version of the poem in Slovene.
