Top 25 Videographers -  Legitimate or Just a Popularity Contest?

January 27, 2009

Let me just start this post off with the announcement that the Biggest Fan Bride Award goes to Tammy.  She started a blog so family and friends could share her excitement over her wedding and has mentioned us numerous times.  Thank you, Tammy!

Recently she posted that the EventDV Magazine Top 25 contest is on again and professional videographers around the world are asked to vote for their favorite videographers.

Tammy’s blog triggered a discussion with John Zale, the Director of Education of the Wedding and Event Videographers Association International (WEVA).  John explained that the EventDV contest is a subjective online voting contest, even though EventDV has set it up this year so it is overseen by one of the most respected names in the industry, John Goolsby.  He also explained that WEVA has their own contests called the Creative Excellence Awards which are not based on votes of popularity but on the body of the work.

It’s an interesting discussion, but one that’s especially worth mentioning on my blog because we happen to have won both awards multiple times!  But enough about us.

If you are a professional videographer or you know someone who is, please GET OUT THE VOTE and let’s make this year’s EventDV 25 the biggest and best ever!  Only working, professional videographers may vote.
