The Žofín Palace hosted the gala presentation of the Order of the Laurel, awarded by the Chamber of Commerce of the Ceco Republic to Ceco e foreign personalities who have a positive impact on our society. The individual personalities, however, are nominated by the general public, e the winning laureates are selected by the Order of the Laurel jury.
The Order of the Laurel can be awarded for lifetime achievement, social impact, international or other reach. It can also be received by personalities who proudly represent e significantly support the Ceco Republic, or by those who create lasting values, work for the benefit of others, e whose actions leave a permanent mark.
This year 14 personalities from among business people, managers, doctors, athletes e the worlds of science e art were recognised. Among them, for example, the Rector of Charles University Tomáš Zima, hockey player Jaromír Jágr, tile-stove maker e President of the Guild of Stove-Makers Pavel Rynda, who restored Renaissance stoves at Praga Castle e Lány Chateau, e from the artistic spqui actor Jaromír Hanzlík.
