PISA 2021 announces nominations in 24 categories

Artists from TV, Music, Fashion and Digital Content will be honoured on an international platform

The second annual Pakistan International Screen Awards (PISA'21), which are all set to take place in Dubai, on November 5th, 2021, has announced the exciting list of nominees in 24 award categories, stated a press release. 

PISA acknowledges the stellar talent of Pakistan's most celebrated artists from the Film, TV, Music, Fashion and Digital Content industries and honours outstanding artists on an international platform.

As 2020 was a stagnant year for Pakistan’s cinema – due to the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown of nationwide theatres, therefore all film categories have been shelved until the next year.  This year, with a new and prestigious jury, made up of stalwart industry professionals, PISA has developed an array of glittering categories encompassing outstanding performances and achievements of artists who shone brightly in 2020. 

Winners across all categories will be decided by online voting, with an exception of the PISA Special Awards and the categories specified as Jury Awards.

Voting lines will be open shortly!
