CANNES LIONS
Cannes Lions Awards Live Briefings
The Awards that benchmark global creative excellence are now open for entries, earlier than usual this year to give you more time to prepare your work. In June 2021, our juries will judge and award work from both 2020 and 2021.
By entering Cannes Lions, you have access to one of our Awards Experts, a personal adviser to guide you through the entire entry process and answer any (really: any) of your questions. The talented team has also put together a mini-series of Live Briefings.
Tune in for expert advice and insider tips on how to give your work the best possible chance of success.
