From Irish Roleplaying and Gaming Wiki
For years, countless years, well not really, but since the dawn of Leprecon, our oldest Gaming Convention, writers have worked on scenarios for RPGs and LARPS and have achieved the following: free entry into the convention the game was written for. Not too shabby you might say, however, when a generic gamer buys their ticket and spends three hours playing that game, they have a chance of winning a prize for their performance in the said scenario. The writer makes do with a pat on the back and "good game, you must write more."
All well and good. Until Itzacon III in 2007. That year Itzacon started the 'National Game Writer Award'. Full rules for entry will be forthcoming on the Itzacon IX (2013) website but in the meantime, these entry conditions can be revealed:
Rules
- The award is NOT for the best scenario at that particular Itzacon. It recognises and rewards a writer's dedication and contribution to game writing at a national level.
- The writer must have written for more than one convention. (eg, Itzacon AND Warpcon/Gaelcon etc rather than two or more of a single convention.)
- The writer must have submitted a game to Itzacon itself for the current year and the game must be of a calibre that gives enjoyment to its players and is considered excellent in scope and theme by the adjudicating committee.
- The game submitted to Itzacon must have its premiere there and not have debuted at any other convention in Ireland or elsewhere.
- The game must be submitted before the official RPG/LARP deadline.
