# Citra Award for Best Original Screenplay

The Citra Award for Best Original Screenplay (Indonesian: Piala Citra untuk Penulis Skenario Asli Terbaik) is an award presented annually at the Indonesian Film Festival since 2006. Together with the Citra Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, it replaced the integrated Citra Award for Best Screenplay.
In 2019, Gina S. Noer became the first person to win both Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay in the same year for her work on Cemara's Family and Two Blue Stripes.
