The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity has unveiled the names of the jury presidents who will lead juries to award this year’s Lions. 

Simon Cook, CEO, LIONS, said, “We’re delighted to announce and work with such an exceptional lineup of global talent. Our presidents are essential in maintaining the integrity of the Lions, and having won hundreds between them, this is a role that I have no doubt they will perform exceptionally well. This announcement marks the start of the countdown to Cannes Lions, where the global community will come together once again to be inspired by a body of work that will point to a new direction for our industry.”

About the judging Philip Thomas, chairman, LIONS, said, “The return of the physical Festival to Cannes in June allows us once again to bring the juries together in person to define the benchmark of creativity. We thank them for their efforts in choosing the work that will inspire organizations globally to strive for creativity that drives positive change and sustainable growth.”

Cannes Lions opens for entries today. Susie Walker, VP Awards & Insight, LIONS, said, “We always work to ensure the Lions are relevant, this year we’ve evolved the Creative Commerce Lions, refreshed the Media Lions and launched the Creative B2B Lions--one that we’ve been discussing since 2013--to celebrate game-changing creativity for products and services that are purchased by professionals on behalf of businesses.” Walker added that in 2022 work will be accepted “across Lions that represent the breadth and diversity of creative and effective work across the branded communications industry”. 

Cannes Lions takes place between June 20-24. If anyone is unable to travel for any reason, LIONS members get exclusive digital access to Cannes Lions.
