UK juror nominations for Cannes Lions are now closed

Cannes Lions will be back from Monday, 17 June to Friday, 21 June 2024. 

Jury nominations for Cannes 2024 is now closed.

The main criteria for being on the Jury are:

• Highly creative, innovative, leaders in their field, well known and respected in their industry, a specialist in their category of interest;
• Ideally creatives should be at CCO or ECD level for creative categories;
• Ideally, should have won Lions in the past five years or won other recognised global awards;
• We understand there are certain categories where the Lions have been won by non-specialists or that top level executives are not credited on certain pieces of work. For these reasons, it may be the case that not all the candidates have won Lions but they must be pure specialists, senior and acknowledged in their field and have won other major international awards relevant to their category; 
• We are committed to gender parity on the juries so please be conscious of this, we will not accept an unequal gender split of nominations;
• Ethnic diversity on our juries is paramount – please be conscious of this when sending nominations so we can continue to build truly diverse juries;

In order to ensure you are nominating the right people for each category, please carefully read through the Cannes Lions Jury Criteria and Category Definitions 2024

You can find the list of categories that we are able to put nominations forward for at the end of this page.

All nominees will need to be available and committed to all aspects of judging in Cannes. Dates and the format of judging can be found here.

To be on the Cannes Lions jury is the highest accolade in the industry. Demand to be on the jury is therefore extremely high but places are limited so please only nominate your top contenders and which category they are most qualified to judge. Please also note that nominating someone does not guarantee them a place on the jury and that the Cannes Lions team will make the final selections.

We look forward to seeing your nominations!
