The winners of VSDA's 2002 Home Entertainment Awards were announced by the Association during its Award Celebration event at VSDA's 21st annual show - Home Entertainment 2002, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 was chosen as the best GameCube game. The event was held from July 16-18, 2002 at the Rio Suites Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The announcement was made today by VSDA President Bo Andersen.
Each year at its annual trade event, VSDA honors its members' favorite movies, programs, and games available on home video. To be eligible for nomination, videos must have been released between December 1, 2000 and March 31, 2002. The 2002 award categories were determined by a blue-ribbon member committee of retailers, distributors and trade journalists, who then selected 84 nominees in the 18 award categories.
Winners were determined by ballots which were sent to all regular VSDA members (retailers and distributors). Completed ballots must have been returned by June 26 to qualify.
