The WEVA Wedding & Event Videography Hall of Fame opened in August 2000 at the 10th Annual WEVA EXPO. The industry's historical "Tools and Technology" exhibit was unveiled, which commemorated the earliest days of professional wedding and event videography. At WEVA EXPO 2001, WEVA International announced the first WEVA Hall of Fame induction of videographers whose contributions to the professional wedding and event video industry nurtured its growth.
The Walter Bennett Service to Industry Award, named in memory of the pioneering videographer and local association founder from Tulsa, OK, was introduced in 1999. This Special Award honors the WEVA International member who, through donation of time, through service to fellow videographers by teaching or writing, by service in a local association or on a national level, strives for exemplary professionalism that lights a pathway for other videographers to follow.
The Bob LeBar Vision Award, which was introduced in 2000, is named in memory of the groundbreaking video animator from Long Island, NY. The award honors the WEVA International member who has made innovative contributions to the development of the professional event video community by advancing unique ideas, and invoking a keen sense of entrepreneurial spirit, together with a strong sense of professional pride, raising the "bar" to new heights.
