To be presented annually at appropriate events,, there are two parts to this award. The first part is to be presented to that Junior or Collegiate Competitor who, in the opinion of those organizing and staffing the event, best represents the type of individual they would like to see promote disc sports throughout the world. The second part is to be presented to that Volunteer or Staff Supporter who, in the opinion of the competitors, best exemplifies the type of coaching and assistance most effective at encouraging them to continue, and others to begin, pursuit of excellence in disc sports. Clearly honesty, integrity and fairness play a significant role in the selection of both individuals. It is the essence of cooperation between these groups that the Lowry-Coddington Award strives to foster and is intended to acknowledge.

Accompanying each part of this award is an engraved individual trophy and a $100 cash prize. In addition, the Freestyle Player’s Association will maintain two plaques (one for each part), containing the names of previous as well as current recipients. These plaques shall be prominently displayed at appropriate disc sport events.

Although the intent is to present this award each year, if suitable nominees are not identified, or agreement by the voting group(s) identified above cannot be reached, the award shall not be given. In such a case the award shall be deferred, with funds held by the Freestyle Player’s Association until the next or subsequent year the award is made.
