The winners will be flown off to the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in France where they will compete on the global stage in the world’s largest annual gathering of the creative community for five days from 19 – 23 June 2023.

If the opportunity to celebrate your creativity on a global stage isn’t enticement enough, the dazzling beaches that line the French Riviera and a chance to roam the famous Boulevard de la Croisette should get your creative juices flowing.
