Scribe Awards
The Scribe Awards, established in 2007 by The International Association of Media Tie-In Writers (IAMTW), "acknowledge and celebrate excellence in licensed tie-in works based on TV shows, movies, and games (video games, computer games, rpgs)". Where most literary awards are based on the calendar year, the Scribe Awards, since 2020, have an eligibility period based of March to February the following year.
Awards are given in the following categories:
- Adapted Novel – General or Speculative
- Audio Drama
- Graphic Novel
- Original Novel – General
- Original Novel – Speculative
- Young Adult - Adapted or Original
- Short Story
There is also a Grandmaster position, awarded annually to a writer who has contributed to tie-in writing. This is sometimes referred to as the Faust Award.
The awards are juried, with the juries being made up of other members of the IAMTW. A different jury is in place for each category. The juries are not published.
