Jury members selected for Lions Entertainment

Commenting on the announcement, Terry Savage, chairman, Lions festivals said, “In the inaugural year of Lions Entertainment, we have combined creative pioneers across the spectrum of music, sport, gaming and talent with specialists in the industry to get the widest range of perspectives. We’ve seen again and again how important it is to create content that integrates into the lives of consumers instead of interrupting and these juries will be looking to award work that cuts through, sets standards and resets the discussion.”
