The International Songwriting competition is the most prestigious and respected songwriting competition in the world and received more than 16,000 entries from almost 140 countries. Winners hail from all over the world (61% of this year’s winners come from outside the USA) and Canadian songwriters fared extremely well in ISC, garnering four First Places and three Third Places, as well as 39 Honorable Mentions!

Congratulations Jaylene! And our congratulations also to Faouzia, who took home first prize in the TEEN category! This is Faouzia's second win in the International Songwriting competition.
