The Coger Award was first presented in 1994, and is given to persons who have contributed an outstanding body of live performances. The award may be given to directors, producers, teachers, or performers. The award will normally be given for a body of performance or an outstanding career in performance. It may, in exceptional cases, be given to performers of a single or a smaller body of performance.
