The shortlist for this year’s Cannes Young Lions which is organised by IAPI has been published.
This year the competition received a total of 118 entries and this has been whittled down to 45 for the shortlist.
According to IAPI CEO Charley Stoney:“Judging this competition is such a privilege. You get to see first-hand how incredibly talented and resourceful young creatives and marketers are. We are delighted both by the uptake for Cannes Young Lions this year as well as the quality of entries. And, with only 48 hours to respond! I believe the charities we picked this year and the quality of the briefs has brought out the altruism and empathetic nature of everyone concerned.”
Cannes Young Lions shortlisted teams were scheduled to present to their juries on 19, 20 and 23 March but in light of recent developments with regards to COVID 19 and yesterday’s statement from the government these presentations will be rescheduled to a future date.
The charities who have benefitted from the competition are A Lust for Life, VOICE Ireland, and CyberSafeIreland. The sponsors of the Cannes Young Lions include INM, Facebook, Sky, Pull the Trigger, Core, PRII & PRCA, Choose Radio and Smurfit Kappa.
