The International Screenwriting Competition (ISC) stands as a dynamic venture spearheaded by Nil Production Corporate, operating in tandem with the acclaimed International Filmmaker Festival of New York (IFFNY), a prestigious event firmly rooted in the bustling cityscape of New York City since its inception in 2012. At the heart of ISC's mission is the unwavering commitment to recognizing and fostering the immense talent within the global community of screenwriters.

ISC serves as an integral component of the larger tapestry of IFFNY, enriching the festival's scope by specifically focusing on the art and craft of screenwriting. Established with the aim of providing a platform for emerging and established writers alike, ISC endeavors to celebrate the power of storytelling and cinematic narrative. As a testament to this dedication, ISC is set to confer a total of 6 monetary awards and 6 prestigious award certificates (non-monetary) to exceptional screenwriters from around the world.

These awards are not merely acknowledgments; they represent a profound encouragement for writers to explore the depths of their creativity, push the boundaries of conventional storytelling, and contribute to the vibrant tapestry of the film industry. In fostering an environment that values and honors the diverse voices and narratives of screenwriters globally, ISC plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of cinematic storytelling, one compelling script at a time.
