France – FCB Inferno in London was awarded the Grand Prix for Good here tonight at Cannes Lions 2015 for a nationwide campaign to get women and girls moving, regardless of shape, size and ability.
FCB Inferno worked with Sports England for “This Girl Can,” feature women who sweat and jiggle as they exercise. It seeks to tell the real story of women who play sport by using images that are the complete opposite of the idealised and stylised images of women we’re now used to seeing.
The Lions Health and United Nations Foundation Grand Prix for Good rewards work ineligible to win a Grand Prix in their sections because they are made for charities/not for profit or have charitable or public service messages.
All such excluded Gold winning entries will be judged by the Grand Prix for Good jury, which will include members of the Pharma and Health and Wellness Juries as well as representatives from the United Nations Foundation.
