The finalists to represent Australia in this year’s Cannes Young Lions have been announced.

The competitors were given a brief by sponsor News Limited to outline the strength of the company’s multi-platform sport offering following the acquisition of Fox Sports.

The next stage will see finalists in marketing, media, film, print and digital compete in a 24-hour brief, with finalists from the film category completing a 48-hour brief.

The judging panel is being chaired by Mat Baxter, CEO of UM. He said: “The quality of thinking and creativity was extremely impressive. The jury was spoilt for choice in selecting the finalists, and with so many strong entries this year is going to be tightest competition in a long time.”
