Writers Guild to recognize Video Game Writers

The Writer's Guild of America announced last week that they will honor the top writers from the world of video games during their annual awards ceremony beginning with their next award presentations in February 2008.

While in the public consciousness this is not the Academy Awards, it is the equivalent in terms of stature for writers. Recognition of writing excellence in video games from such an organization is a tremendously positive sign that interactive media is indeed breaking new ground in terms of broad recognition as a legitimate art form.

For more information or to learn how to present someone for award consideration, see the full story from the WGA here.
