Its jury members will handpick a two-man team who will be given the opportunity to travel to the Cannes Lions Festival and represent South Africa in the international Young Lions Competition. Andrew MacKenzie, creative director of Boomtown, has been selected as a jury member.
"South Africa has world-class creative talent. What a privilege to be able to judge the creative rock stars of the future, the young talent that will fly the flag for South Africa at Cannes 2015", says MacKenzie. "It's exciting. It's opportunity for local talent to experience the global stage and give a taste of the great things they can achieve."
