USA TODAY and Gannett Announce U.S. Jurors for 62nd Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity
March 26 2015 - 11:00AM
Business Wire
USA TODAY and Gannett, official U.S. representative to the
Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, today announced
the jury members chosen to represent the US advertising and
communications community at this year’s Festival. The jurors chosen
for this prestigious honor will judge more than 37,000 entries from
all over the world. Jurors were selected based on a rigorous
selection process and each jury contains an even balance of members
from around the globe and from a representative spread of agencies,
independents and networks.
New in 2015, Cannes Lions launched the Creative Data Lions and
expanded the Innovation Lions, both of which will now form a new,
two-day Lions Innovation Festival. Similar to Lions Health, it
will be part of the 62nd Cannes Lions International Festival of
Creativity. For more information, please visit the Lions
Innovation website. Cannes Lions is also introducing the Glass
Lion: The Lion for Change - which honors work that challenges
gender bias and shatters stereotypical images of men and women
which remain rooted in marketing messages.
As the official U.S. representative to the 62nd Cannes Lions
International Festival of Creativity, we are proud to celebrate the
creative industry leaders that will represent our nation.
