In 2016, a second Scripter award, for episodic series adaption, was added. The Literary Achievement Award honors significant contributions to [[storytelling]] across form, genre, and medium. The Ex Libris Award recognizes long-time supporters of the USC Libraries. The latter two awards are presented on an occasional basis. Per the Scripter Awards website, "Scripter celebrates writers and writing, collaboration, and the profound results of transforming one artistic medium into another. It stands as an emblem of libraries’ ability to inspire creative and scholarly achievement."<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://libraries.usc.edu/scripter/about|title=Scripter - About|date=2015-08-30|work=USC Libraries|access-date=2018-05-01|language=en}}</ref>

USC Scripter Awards
Awarded forWriting achievements in film adaptation
CountryUnited States
Presented byUniversity of Southern California (USC)
First awarded1988; 36 years ago (1988)
Websitelibraries.usc.edu/scripter

The USC Scripter Award (Scripter) is the name given to an award presented annually by the University of Southern California (USC) to honor both authors and screenwriters. Starting in 1988, the USC Libraries Board of Councilors award the year's best film adaptation of a printed work, recognizing the original author and the screenwriter.

In 2016, a second Scripter award, for episodic series adaption, was added. The Literary Achievement Award honors significant contributions to storytelling across form, genre, and medium. The Ex Libris Award recognizes long-time supporters of the USC Libraries. The latter two awards are presented on an occasional basis. Per the Scripter Awards website, "Scripter celebrates writers and writing, collaboration, and the profound results of transforming one artistic medium into another. It stands as an emblem of libraries’ ability to inspire creative and scholarly achievement."[1]
