About Us
In an age of information where the incentive for awards and excellence seems to grow exponentially, our founders grew increasingly frustrated with the "prestigious" but often-paywalled and US-only writing competitions that sometimes give and sometimes does not give you an award—with zero explanation or examples of winning works.
The International High School Writing Contest (IHSWC for short) is a contest made for high schoolers by high schoolers. Started by two creative writers, the IHSWC seeks to address three gaps in writing competitions—accessibility, functionality, and transparency.
So, in 2022, our founders made IHSWC. With an emphasis on worldwide accessibility and a clear submission-to-judging-to-award process, the core of the IHSWC is be an uplifting community for creative highschoolers and to reward and give them a place to have their work seen.
