UK, Dominican Republic and Turkey comes out top of the Young Lions Marketers' competition

The competition asked the 18 international teams to create an online campaign to fit the brief given by WaterAid, an international charity that transforms lives by improving access to safe water, hygiene and sanitation.

The winning team was honoured and awarded during the Film, Film Craft, Branded Content & Entertainment and Titanium & Integrated Awards Ceremony on Saturday, 27 June. Gold, Silver and Bronze medals were presented to the winners. Gold winners also receive two passes to next year's Festival, as well as accommodation for the week, but the real value of winning one of the competitions is the exposure it gives to young talent.
