Young Lions Competition
The Young Lions Competition (previously known as the Young Creatives competition, which started in 1995) is open to advertising professionals up to 28 years old working in teams of two. The competition takes place during the festival week in Cannes in four divisions: print, cyber, film and media.
In the print competition, an art director and a copywriter are given 24 hours to create a print ad to promote a charity or organisation chosen by the Young Lions Competition. Print teams consider this "brief" overnight and have between 08:00 and 20:00 the following day to create their ad. The cyber competition is structured in the same way, with teams comprising a copywriter and a web designer.
In the film competition, teams of two are given two days to create a 30-second commercial. The media competition, added in 2008, challenges teams to develop an innovative media strategy within a budget of $1,000,000.

Famous quotes containing the words young, lions and/or competition:
“He loves us not,
He wants the natural touch. For the poor wren,
The most diminutive of birds, will fight,
Her young ones in the nest, against the owl.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Probably more than youngsters at any age, early adolescents expect the adults they care about to demonstrate the virtues they want demonstrated. They also tend to expect adults they admire to be absolutely perfect. When adults disappoint them, they can be critical and intolerant.”
—The Lions Clubs International and the Quest Nation. The Surprising Years, I, ch.4 (1985)
“Playing games with agreed upon rules helps children learn to live by rules, establish the delicate balance between competition and cooperation, between fair play and justice and exploitation and abuse of these for personal gain. It helps them learn to manage the warmth of winning and the hurt of losing; it helps them to believe that there will be another chance to win the next time.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
