the Yearly Logos Awards

Every year, at the the occassion of the first meeting of the board of directors of the year, the board overlooks and evaluates all concerts organized and produced by the Logos Foundation over the past year (1st of january to 31th of december). The concert that is evaluated as 'the best' or the 'revelation' of that year, receives the honorary annual 'Logos Award'. If the board could not reach a consensus, the award was not given (N.N. in the list). The award does not select an artists career, nor the quality of his work in general, but exclusively the quality of his particular performance in front of the audience at Logos. Artists working at the foundation or strongly related to its workings are excluded from being selected. Until 1998 the list had been a well kept secret within the Logos Foundations premisses. However, at the occasion of Logos' 30th year of existence, we decided to publish the entire list for the first time. Artists mentioned herein are from now on entitled to mention the Honorary Logos Award in their curriculum.
