Network ISA is running a screenplay contest which aims to highlight talented emerging screenwriters. This screenwriting contest was created to help connect screenwriters with industry Pros, help get them discovered and signed by agents/managers, sell their scripts, and launch their careers. 

ISA is the largest association for international screenwriters. ISA was founded by Craig James Pietrowiak, an award-winning independent screenwriter, director, and producer.
