At the first meeting of the board of directors each year, the board looks through and evaluates all concerts organized and produced by the Logos Foundation over the past year. The concert that is judged 'the best' or the 'revelation' of that year, receives the honorary annual 'Logos Award'. If the board could not reach a consensus, the award is not given (N.N. in the list).

The award is not for an artist's career, nor the quality of his/her work in general, but simply for the quality of the particular performance for the audience at Logos.

Artists working at the foundation or closely related to its workings are excluded from the award. Until 1998 the list was a well-kept secret within the Foundation. But when we celebrated Logos' 30th anniversary, we decided to publish the entire list for the first time. The artists mentioned here may mention the Honorary Logos Award in their CV.
