Looking at the 2022 festival and beyond, Cannes Lions is determined to provide an annual forum for our industry to address the most pressing issues that the industry and indeed the world are facing. The organizers have placed sustainability right at the top of their thinking. They are committed to presenting a full sustainability agenda. Cannes Lions 2022 will be their most sustainable festival in history.
An impressive judging panel has been put together. It consists of 290 jury members from across the world. They represent the global industry’s leading talent from a diverse range of disciplines in creativity; the best of class in advertising. Initial stages of judging have been done remotely using the organization’s unique judging technology. However, jurors will, of course, come together in Cannes to complete the final stages of judging. They will award the Lions, as they have done since those very early days in 1954.
Cannes Lions pay enormous consideration when choosing their judges. The high caliber of the judging panels is matched by the high standards to which they are held. The judges view, vote, and discuss all entries before choosing their winner, silver, bronze or shortlist place only. A two-thirds majority is required for an entry to win a trophy. They award points on a scale of 1 to 9 in order to create their shortlists. Then, guided by the Jury President, they decide on whether each entry merits a gold, silver
The winners of the coveted Cannes Lions will be announced during the week at Five fabulous award ceremonies.
