New York, United States · Multiple structural red flags — exercise caution before submitting
The Minority International Script Festival 2025 is a New York-based, fully online screenplay competition organized by the Minority Arts & Media Foundation. It is notable for focusing exclusively on short fiction screenplays and brief theatrical scripts written in Spanish, English, or Portuguese, with an emphasis on inclusion, diversity, social justice, and representation of minority communities. Its international, no-barrier format and cash prizes give it significance as a platform for underrepresented writers in the global script competition circuit.
