LONDON – Future Lions, AKQA’s global student competition to unearth the next generation of talent, is now open for entries.
An undergraduate competition and showcase for inspirational thinking, Future Lions, is run in collaboration with the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
This year’s Future Lions theme is a call to action for students all over the world to reject their inner barriers and ‘Break Through’. Ego, self-doubt and fear of failure kill creativity, but these limits only exist in the mind. Students are encouraged to venture out into the unknown which is the birthplace of creative change.
Celebrating the competition’s emphasis on creativity, AKQA is proud to announce VSCO and WIRED as official partners for Future Lions 2019.
VSCO CMO Tesa Aragones said, “At VSCO, our mission is to help everybody fall in love with their own creativity. This year’s Future Lions theme of “Break Through” echoes what we provide for our community members at VSCO. It is an invitation to young creatives to embrace their creative curiosity, create without self-doubt, and along that journey build their creative confidence.”
Winning ideas will be honoured at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity on Tuesday, June 18, 2019 at 11:15 CET in the Debussy Theatre at Palais des Festivals, Cannes, France.
Competition entries are invited from students across the globe at www.futurelions.com
Entries close on Monday, April 15.
