The International Songwriting Competition (ISC) is an annual contest that invites songwriters from around the world to submit their original songs. Established in 2002, the competition aims to provide a platform for songwriters to showcase their talent and gain recognition in the music industry. Participants can enter songs in various genres, and winners receive prizes that may include cash, music gear, and opportunities for exposure. Judged by a panel of industry professionals, including artists and producers, the ISC evaluates entries based on creativity, originality, and overall quality. The competition not only highlights emerging talent but also connects songwriters with opportunities for music publishing, recording contracts, and performance gigs.
