Halls of fame have been created by several users in the Duolingo discussion forums, to recognize individual achievements. As well as a number of halls of fame for general achievement on Duolingo, there are also a number of language specific halls of fame. These halls of fame are all unofficial - at least one (The Golden Owl Hall of Fame) was started in protest that no such official page exists.
There is also a hall of fame called Duome (Duo me) in https://www.duome.eu/.

Purpose[]
The halls of fame are to recognize extraordinary achievements on Duolingo.
The Golden Owl Hall of Fame recognizes when a user has completed a language tree. AlexisLinguist wrote: "The GOHOF began in August 2014 as a petition to Duolingo to add acknowledgements of finished courses to user profiles".[1] It was passed on to thraenthraen on July 1, 2015, as AlexisLinguist was going on hiatus and would not be able to keep up the GOHOF.
The One year+ streak Hall of Fame honours users who have met their daily goal every day for a year, and thus have a streak of 365 days or more. jitengore wrote: "The community will benefit, draw inspiration and motivation by being able to find all the members of this club".[2]
The "Junior" Streak Hall of Fame attempts to "encourage people to go longer and keep their streak going!" on their way to entering jitengore's One year+ streak Hall of Fame.
The Level 25 Hall of Fame "honour[s] those Duo-ers who have managed to attain Level 25, the gold standard of Duolingo fabulousness, in one or more languages ;-)".[3]
The Hall of Fame for Users with 100,000XP+ honours "the users who have surpassed 100,000 XP, in other words, the people who have the most XP on Duolingo."[4]
The language specific Halls of Fame acknowledge various achievements, such as complete trees and reaching level 25.
