Objective
Do you have a great drama script that’s ready for the industry?
The best dramas don’t just tug at emotions—they reshape the way audiences see the world.
Our Emerging Screenwriters Drama Competition is designed to celebrate both classic drama narratives and idiosyncratic, boundary-pushing works. We’re looking for scripts that move hearts, challenge perspectives, and connect with audiences.
Winners won’t just collect laurels—they’ll be shared with our network of mentors, partners, and industry connections for option or production consideration. And the Top 10 scripts will be considered for the ISA Development Slate, giving them a direct path toward representation and production.
