It’s time for Canada’s rising stars to sharpen their pencils and renew their passports: the Young Lions and Young Marketers competitions are now open.
The Globe and Mail, the official Canadian representative of the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, opened registration for the career-altering competitions at www.GlobeLink.ca/Cannes. Registration closes March 1.
The Young Lions competition invites advertising creatives and media planners and buyers 28-years old and under to enter in one of four categories: Print, Film, Cyber and Media.
Those competing in the Print and Cyber categories have 24 hours to create an ad, while Film participants have 48 hours to film and edit a 30-second spot.
The Young Marketers competition, now in its third year (and second in Canada), is open to marketers 30 and under who work for a client organization. Competitors have 24 hours to submit a written brief. Three to five teams will then be shortlisted and invited to give a five-minute live presentation to the jury.
The Globe and Mail will send the winning teams (five in total) to compete in the Young Lions and Young Marketers competitions at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, which takes place June 16 – 23.
