La Comunidad and La Nación will once again organize the competition in Costa Rica to bring young people to compete in Cannes.
At the heart of our organizations, stimulating young creatives in our country is pure emotion, adrenaline and future. We do it from Volcán and Effies en la Comunidad (formerly ASCAP). La Nación does it with its Pregoneros and together with Cannes, we do it for Young Lions.
If you are under 28 years old for the next festival, you are fluent in English and you are a creative, you have to compete next year to go to Cannes, the great creative festival in the world.
Already about a dozen young people have gone with unforgettable experiences accumulated at the Young Lions Competition, as well as about five students who have attended the Roger Hatchuel Academy – next year may be the year for you!
In the next competition we will have the opportunity for two agency pairs, most likely in Print and Cyber. Additionally, La Comunidad and La Nación will choose a duo to compete in the Young Clients Competition.
Starting in November, the Cannes Lions website will be updated with global information, while we will soon upload the local conditions from the Community.
In the meantime, Cannes Lions is opening possibilities for a Young Design Competition, a Young Lions Academy is being discussed, a Young Suits category was created and many other opportunities to stimulate youth participation.
The future is sure to come. The important thing is to get there first.
