Janka Guzova was a pioneer of promoting Slovak folklore in radio in an authentic way. In the year 1949, she became the first ever folk music director at the Bratislava studio of Czechoslovak Radio. In order to honor her in saving such cultural heritage for the future, Slovak Radio now runs a competition for young folk singers. Every second year, the winner receives the Janka Guzova award.
