IAPI’s Irish team of 14 Young Lions will be competing over the next three weeks as they go head-to-head in the global Cannes Young Lions competition against many other extremely talented and creative professionals.
The competitions will run over a three-week period from 24th May – 15th June.
Each competition will run over 3 days. Teams will be briefed and judged live via Zoom. Teams have just 24 hours to create their campaigns and submit their work using the Young Lions entry system.
