The ZeBBie Awards are annual awards created by the WGI — named in honour of O. Z. Whitehead — to acknowledge the best script(s) written by Irish playwrights and screenwriters during the previous year.
The Writers Credits Guiding Principles were agreed between Screen Producers Ireland (SPI) and the Writers Guild of Ireland (WGI) in September 2017.
The following list of credits for writers is for guidance purposes only. The writing credit definitions mirror those of the International Affiliation of Writers Guilds.
It is important to note that the contract between the producer and the writer will take precedent over these guidelines.
We recommend that the producer and writer avail of legal advice before signing a contract. You can also consult with the WGI/SPI.
A “Screenplay by” credit is appropriate when the screenplay is based upon a story or a screen story as defined above.
This credit shall not be granted where there is source material of a story nature. However, biographical, newspaper and other factual sources may not necessarily deprive the writer of such credit.
