description: We describe searches for B meson decays to the charmless vector-vector final states omega omega and omega phi with 471 x 10^6 B Bbar pairs produced in e+ e- annihilation at sqrt(s) = 10.58 GeV using the BABAR detector at the PEP-II collider at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. We measure the branching fraction B(B0 --&gt; omega omega) = (1.2 +- 0.3 +0.3-0.2) x 10^-6, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic, corresponding to a significance of 4.4 standard deviations. We also determine the upper limit B(B0 --&gt; omega phi) &lt; 0.7 x 10^-6 at 90% confidence level. These measurements provide the first evidence for the decay B0 --&gt; omega omega, and an improvement of the upper limit for the decay B0 --&gt; omega phi.
