Scribe Awards
annual entertainment award
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.

Why this record matters
“Scribe Awards” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Scribe, Awards and annual provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q125701365. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2007 and 2020.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
