CKUA and the Rozsa Foundation Awards
Nominees and Award Winners: read their biographies and hear them talk to CKUA about their work.
The Rozsa Award for Excellence
in Arts Management was created in 2002 to honour the philanthropic
efforts of the late Dr. Ted Rozsa and Dr. Lola Rozsa. Unique in the
country, the Award is intended to recognize, celebrate and promote the
contribution of an outstanding arts administrator, and to provide
additional professional development benefits for both the individual and
their company.
The Rozsa Foundation has since created two more awards in order to include more arts managers, and to enable additional partners to become involved. CKUA is proud to be a partner and sponsor of the Rozsa Foundation Awards.

In July we received an email invitation from Eurasia Automotive to be taken for laps around the Edmonton Indy track at race speed in a Porsche 911, part of the promotions for the "NASCC Eurasia Cup GT Invitational... traditionally one of the most exciting support races at the Edmonton Indy". And our own Orest Soltykevych stepped up for the adventure. His report from the front line: Hi guys,  I'm back in one piece, but still a bit queasy...
