Insolvency Law Academy (ILA) is pleased to announce the 4thEdition of ILA International Short Story (Insolvency and Bankruptcy) Contest(short story contest), under the aegis of Emerging Scholars Group (ESG).
The Short Story Contest, an innovative initiative launched by the Insolvency Law Academy (ILA), began as a unique concept to explore creative narratives within the framework of insolvency law in India. Over the past three editions, the contest has grown remarkably, attracting a diverse pool of talented writers and an ever-expanding audience of enthusiastic readers. With its thought-provoking themes, compelling storytelling, and a supportive jury, the contest has carved out a distinctive space in the literary and legal landscape.
