IAPI would like to congratulate the teams that have been shortlisted across the seven Cannes Young Lions categories. The standard across the entries was exceptionally high and shortlisting was a tough task.

IAPI CEO Charley Stoney said “Judging this competition is such a privilege. You get to see first-hand how incredibly talented and resourceful young creatives and marketers are. We are delighted both by the uptake for Cannes Young Lions this year as well as the quality of entries. And, with only 48 hours to respond! I believe the charities we picked this year and the quality of the briefs has brought out the altruism and empathetic nature of everyone concerned.”

Cannes Young Lions shortlisted teams were scheduled to present to their juries on 19, 20 and 23 March but in light of recent developments with regards to COVID 19 and yesterday’s statement from the government these presentations will be rescheduled to a future date.

The charities who have benefitted from the competition are A Lust for Life, VOICE Ireland, and CyberSafeIreland. And of course, a special acknowledgement to the sponsors without whom the competition would not be possible INM, Facebook, Sky, Pull the Trigger, Core, PRII & PRCA, Choose Radio & Smurfit Kappa.

Congratulations to all those that have made the shortlist and IAPI look forward to selecting the winning teams at a future date.
