The fourth edition of the ScreenWriters Association (SWA) Awards has been announced with 85 nominations in 17 categories—from story, screenplay, dialogues, to lyrics, from originals to debutants—for films, television shows, and web series released last year. Initiated during the pandemic, the “awards  will be bigger this year,” promises Suhael Anwer, COO, SWA.

Insisting that the awards gala, which takes place in Mumbai tomorrow, will be a straight-forward affair focusing on art and skill, Anwer says, “We don’t rely on entertainment quotient. Our awards are purely based on the art and skill of the writers. Some of the nominated films, shows, and series [in the nomination list] may be unheard of.”
