Jose Papa, director general de Lions Festival
Cannes Lions announced on November 18th that the size of the jury panels present in the festival will be reduced by 92 members across the board, ensuring the highest standard of meaningful debate can take place. “The standard of judging and quality of our juries is one of the major factors that contributes to the longstanding value of Cannes Lions. Upholding the value of the Lion is paramount” said Philip Thomas, Chief Executive at Cannes Lions. Jose Papa, Managing Director at Cannes Lions, explained that the decision came after extensive consultation with previous jurors and the wider industry, after that they concluded they could reduce the number of jury members while still allowing them plenty of time to judge the work. “Protecting the integrity of the Lions is down to getting the right people in the judging room” he said. The jury members will be selected using the same process and criteria as the awarding juries and held to the same rigorous standards of neutrality and fairness. Jury panel sizes will also be reduced across the Film, Radio, Print & Publishing, Outdoor, Digital Craft, Creative Effectiveness and Mobile categories. The first phase of the voting process for the Promo & Activation, Media and Direct Lions will now be completed in the weeks before the Festival by a shortlist jury. The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity 2017 will take place on 17th-24th June 2017, Cannes, France.
