CANNES – The remaining seventeen jury presidents for the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity have just been announced. “It’s not easy to win a Lion, noted Philip Thomas, CEO, Lions Festivals. “On average our juries will award just 3% of more than 40,000 entries. They’re looking for unique work that is creatively exceptional and challenges the norm. What we look for in our presidents is people that have been in this 3% time and time again – it’s a significant responsibility leading a Cannes Lions jury and we’re incredibly proud to have such a powerful mix of individuals who know what creative excellence looks like, because they have it in abundance themselves.”
