The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity has announced the members of a further four juries who will meet in Cannes to judge work in the new Product Design, Film, Media and Promo & Activation Lions categories.
Cannes Lions will take place from June 15 to 21, 2014 at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France, with winners to be announced at four awards ceremonies held during the Festival.
Commenting on the jury line-up, including the new Product Design Lions jury, Terry Savage, Chairman of Lions Festivals said, “As a global festival celebrating the best creative ideas in brand communications, it is important to embrace all facets of this ever-changing industry, and as such we very much look forward to welcoming the members of the first ever Product Design Lions jury to Cannes Lions along with all our other juries. By judging and awarding only the very best work using integrity, commitment and unbeatable industry knowledge, this esteemed group of industry professionals selected for these juries, will ultimately help drive the industry forward on a global scale.”
As implemented last year, there will be a two-stage judging process for the Media Lions category. A 40-strong jury of media professionals from around the world will be divided into eight sub-groups of five people tasked to cast the first round of votes that will determine the shortlist. Jury President Matt Seiler, Global CEO, IPG Mediabrands will spend time with each sub-group, but will not vote during this first round. At the second voting stage, the shortlist will be judged and the winners selected by the Awarding Jury made up of 13 media industry leaders, including the Jury President.
The three other juries will be led by Amir Kassaei, Chief Creative Officer, DDB Worldwide, USA (Film Lions); Susan Credle, Chief Creative Officer, Leo Burnett, USA (Promo & Activation Lions); and Donghoon Chang, Executive Vice President, Samsung Electronics, South Korea (Product Design Lions).
