JEIFA for Best Original Song
All JEIFA Winners in the Category of Best Original Song
Best Original Song
The JEIFA for Best Original Song is presented to the songwriter of an original song written specifically for a film eligible for a JEIFA in that year. The award is presented to the songwriter and the performer if the performer contributed to any artistic element of the song. The song must appear at some point during the film, including during credits before or after the film. The release of the song prior to the release of the film does not disqualify it for this category provided the original purpose of its creation was for the film that followed its non-film release.
There is no limit on the number of nominations a film may have in this category, however original songs performed by more than one artist in the same movie are eligible for only one nomination and it is up to the studio to determine which artist’s performance is the “Original” and any subsequent performances an adaptation of that performance. Adapted musicals are ineligible in this category unless an original song is written as an addition to the musical’s score or song score.
This category is classified as an Artistic Award.
