For the first time in its 26 year history, the Global Young Lions Competitions at Cannes Lions will take place digitally.
Our UK Young Lions Winners from 2020 who were not able to compete last year are all looking forward to taking part this year, albeit online rather than in Cannes.  Meet the teams!
