The Writers Guild of America Awards is an award for film, television, and radio writing including both fiction and non-fiction categories given by the Writers Guild of America, East and Writers Guild of America West since 1949.

The screen awards are for films that were exhibited theatrically during the preceding calendar year.

Additionally, scripts must be produced under the jurisdiction of the WGA or under a collective bargaining agreement in Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, or the United Kingdom.

In the years 2008 through 2018, the awards also included video game writing.

The video game category was first added in 2008, but discontinued after the 2019 awards.
