For the third time will be held in Slovakia the contest Slovak Woman of the Year 2011. At a press conference held on 24th March 2011 the weekly periodical Slovenka in cooperation with the RTVS presented this year’s nominated women. Patronage over the ceremony took again the spouse of the President of the Slovak Republic Mrs. Silvia Gašparovičová. The inquiry has great resonance among readers and viewers. As stated by the Star production Director General Mrs. Mária Reháková, "last year voted 45-thousand viewers and readers in this inquiry. This year we have expanded the category health care. We have done this because the last two years of the existence of the Slovak Woman of the Year inquiry won always physicians. As you can see, the health care is close to our viewers and readers."

First Lady personally always likes to support projects, in which outstanding working achievements of women are presented, that in addition to a demanding profession handle also family welfare and education of children. "Many women have achieved excellent results in their fields of work. At their workplaces and often even among specialists abroad they are respected and recognized, but not well known in the public. They are passionate for their work, results of their responsible work and progress and success are primary for them." She added that "celebrities receive well-deserved publicity and the public gets valuable information on the outstanding results of women’s work in several important sectors of our lives. Behind their results is painstaking, purposeful and hard work."
