Call to enter Cannes Lions 2008

LONDON: Entrant companies can now submit work to compete at the 55th Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival in all categories – Film, Press, Outdoor, Direct, Media, Cyber, Radio, Promo, Titanium, Integrated and the new Design Lions category. An important change this year is the expansion of the Film section to include categories for films created for transmission on screens other than TV and cinema.

These new Film categories include Internet film, Mobile film, Other screens (for instance, digital outdoor solutions and branded content on TV) and Integrated film (films made to be adapted for different screens).

As previously announced, Design Lions will celebrate the creative and innovative use of design as an aid for the communication of brand and product messages. Categories will include Packaging Design, Brand Identity and Environmental Design. Entries will be rewarded for Creativity, Originality, Execution and Consumer Engagement.
