The hunt is on to track down the country’s leading young creative talent for an opportunity to showcase local excellence on the global stage. As the official South African representative for the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, Ster-Kinekor is once again sponsoring the Film category of the Young Lions 2024 competition.
To kickstart the process, the Cannes Young Lions organisers are inviting all potential Young Lions to attend an online Masterclass at 2pm (12pm GMT) on Monday 5 February 2024. This is a free Zoom webinar designed to help prospective competitors make the best of their creativity and set them on the path to the Palais. Yes, that’s the one in Cannes, France!
The theme is 'Empower your Creative Process, Conquer Fear and Thrive in Young Lions Competitions 2024’. The virtual masterclass event consists of talks and a Q&A covering creative bravery, breaking norms, and future proofing your creative career. During the session, you’ll learn:
The masterclass is free to any young creatives who are interested in attending it. If you cannot make the event on 5 February, the session will be recorded – you’ll be able to watch the recording back from 8 February.
You can also view the information and sign-up links on the Cannes Young Lions website. The RSVP link can be accessed here.
“The Young Lions competition gives the next generation of industry superstars the chance to prove themselves by responding to a brief under intense pressure over a 48-hour period,” says Lynne Wylie, chief marketing officer of Ster-Kinekor. “We hope this masterclass will inspire a new generation of young creatives to enter the competition when it is announced.”
