The Titanium Lions jury, headed by David Lubars, have selected three entries for the shortlist, which will be announced alongside the winner on Saturday night. States Lubars, "Because Titanium is such a prestigious and specialised award, the shortlist is short - three in total. We prefer to hold this list to avoid creating too much conjecture before the awards ceremony."
