UK YOUNG LIONS COMPETITION – ENTRIES NOW OPEN
Entries are officially open for our UK Young Lions competition! We’re on the hunt to find the very best young creative talent to represent the UK at this year’s Global Young Lions competition.
Across six categories, the competition is an opportunity for UK individuals to submit their best work, with the winners being offered the chance to fly the flag for the UK at Cannes in June where the competition flips from a UK national competition to a global one. Teams of two will work on a brief remotely before uploading their work onto the competition portal.
Categories include: Design, Digital, Film, Marketers, Media and Print.
If you think you’ve got what it takes to be the best in the UK and be a UK Young Lion at Cannes this summer, head to our website for all the information on eligibility and how to enter.

MISSED LEAD? THEN CHECK OUT OUR SHOWREEL
We’ve put together a showreel of our industry flagship summit, LEAD, held on January 25.

Tackling the talent shortage, understanding the political landscape, and how advertising can become more effective were all on the agenda.
You can watch the full showreel on our YouTube channel.
