FILM CRAFT LIONS

Brand-new for 2010 is a distinct section: the Film Craft Lions. Judged by a carefully selected jury of directors, producers and creatives, it will honour the craft of the filmmaking process - the direction, copywriting or editing, or the skilful use of music or sound design.

We have consulted the production community extensively and have no doubt that The Film Craft Lions will quickly become a pillar of the Lions week. The Film Craft Lions will be awarded at the Awards Ceremony on Saturday 26 June.

The Film Craft Lions categories you can enter are:

A01. Production Design
A02. Direction
A03. Cinematography
A04. Editing
A05. Copywriting
A06. Best use of Music
A07. Sound Design
A08. Special Effects & Computer Graphics

TWO GRANDS PRIX IN OUTDOOR LIONS
 
From this year awards, two Grands Prix must be awarded in the Outdoor Lions category, one for Billboards & Street Furniture and Posters, one for Ambient. Entries in the charities and public services categories are excluded but will be eligible for the new Grand Prix for Good.

PROMO & ACTIVATION LIONS

The Promo Lions have been renamed the Promo & Activation Lions. For many people, the word promotion evokes the tactics of the past, even though the Cannes Lions definition of sales promotion has always been “activity designed to create immediate activation and/or offer for the sales of a product or service”. As evidenced by the past several years’ Promo Lions winners, best-in-class Promo work can innovatively employ tactics traditionally associated with promotion – such as sampling, tie-ins, competitions, events, in-store advertising, PR, exhibitions and direct marketing – as well as more recently developed promotional vehicles, including digital media, mobile applications, branded content, social networking, augmented reality and QR codes. Indeed, the discipline’s defining feature remains its focus on inspiring people to engage and participate – to do something. In short: to activate.

INDEPENDENT AGENCY OF THE YEAR

This new award honours the independent agency that has amassed the most points across all the entry sections at the Festival – Film, Press, Outdoor, Radio, Media, Cyber, Direct, Promo & Activation, Design, PR, Film Craft, Titanium and Integrated Lions. The spirit of Independent Agency of the Year is to reward an individual office of an independent agency, and in doing so, encourage the spirit of creative entrepreneurship that has helped forge so many outstanding agencies in the past.

To be eligible for the award, an independent agency will be defined as an agency that is owned by its management or independent shareholders and is not associated with any holding company or listed entity.

GRAND PRIX FOR GOOD

From this year onwards, Cannes Lions will reward entries ineligible to win a Grand Prix in their sections because they are made for charities and public services. Each of the Gold winners in these categories across ALL entry sections will be judged by the Titanium and Integrated Jury, who will choose one piece to receive the Cannes Lions Grand Prix for Good, to be awarded during the Awards Ceremony on Saturday 26 June.
