Los Angeles - The Writers Guild of America (WGA) has established an inaugural Videogame Writing Award, which will be presented for the first time at the 2008 Writers Guild Awards in Los Angeles in February. The award was developed by the WGA's New Media Caucus "to encourage storytelling excellence in videogames, to improve the status of writers, and to begin to encourage uniform standards" within the gaming industry. Submissions for writing in games released between Dec. 1, 2006 and Nov. 30, 2007 are due by Nov. 21.
