Writers' Guild of Ireland Zebbie Awards 2026
Emerging or unverified festival
The Writers' Guild of Ireland Zebbie Awards are a Dublin-based annual awards event that celebrates Irish writing for screen, stage, radio, and audio, rather than a traditional film festival. In 2026, they are notable for recognizing scripts across feature film, short film, television, animation, and related categories, with winners chosen through a writers’ guild process that emphasizes craft and peer recognition. The awards matter within Ireland’s screen sector because they highlight standout Irish scripts and often serve as a respected industry marker for emerging and established writers.[1][2][5][6]
