The WEVA International Creative Excellence Award is the most prestigious recognition bestowed within the professional wedding and event video production industry. Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards are presented in 15 production categories after judging of entries by a panel of accredited and seasoned professionals. Winners are selected anonymously based upon dramatic impact, creativity, originality, shooting and editing style, and overall production content.
