Eye of the Word (Oko besede) is a literary festival that traditionally takes place in Murska Sobota. This professional and social gathering brings together creators of Slovene youth literature, literary experts, librarians, literary educators and publishers. They discuss current issues in youth literature and exchange experiences and findings.

An important part of this is the symposium organised by the Otrok in knjiga journal which focuses on topical issues in Slovene youth literature. Selected symposium material is published in individual issues of the journal.

The festival was created in 1995 at the initiative of the Franc-Franc publishing house and has been organised by ARGO, Society for Humanist Issues since 2016.
