2008 ZeBBies Qualifiers

Members of the Irish Playwrights and Screenwriters Guild are invited to nominate Irish writers for the second ZeBBies Awards in the following four categories:

• Best Radio script
• Best Film script
• Best Television script
• Best Theatre script

The ZeBBies are annual awards created by the Guild — named in honour of O. Z. Whitehead — to acknowledge the best script(s) written by Irish playwrights and screenwriters during the previous year.

To qualify each project must have been:

• Released to an Irish audience in the period between the 1 July, 2007 — 30 June, 2008
• Written by an Irish writer, or a writer normally resident in Ireland

A master list of qualifying work is available on the Guild website. Despite our best efforts there may be errors or ommissions in the list. Please inform us of any corrections.

Please send us a maximum of three nominations in each of the four categories, however you can offer fewer or no nominations in any of the categories if you wish.

The closing date for receipt of nominations is next Friday, the 17th October at 17.30.

Nominations can be made by post, by hand, or by e-mail (contact details below). All members — full or associate — of the Guild are entitled to nominate.

The short-list of nominated scripts will be available to all current members for reading and voting via the guild website during November.

Tickets for the Awards Ceremony, which will take place on Tuesday 25th November, will be on sale from the middle of next week: numbers are limited, so please purchase quickly to avoid disappointment.
