Šalamun's many prizes include the Preseren Prize, the Jenko Prize, a Pushcart Prize, the European Prize for Poetry by German town Münster in 2007, and the 2009 'The Golden Wreath' from Struga Poetry Evenings in Macedonia. He also received the 2003 Altamarea Prize in Trieste, Italy and the Festival Prize at Costanza, Romania in 2004. He is a member of the Slovenian Academy of Science and Art.
