Cannes Lions award-winning ideas should be celebrated, and we don’t think it’s an appropriate time for that right now.
We’re grateful to all of your teams who have already spent a great deal of time on this year’s awards and the event. Their efforts won’t go wasted.
Work from the 2020 festival will be judged at the 2021 festival. The Cannes Lions Awards will be held in Cannes between June 21-25, 2021. The work eligible for each year’s festival will be judged separately. Separate Lions will be awarded accordingly.
We look forward to celebrating and honouring the work – and bringing the community together again when the world will hopefully be a more stable and optimistic place.

Creative Strategy Lions
Entries will need to demonstrate exceptional interpretation of the business/brand challenge, breakthrough thinking and transformational problem-solving that led to compelling creative strategy.
A number of criteria will be considered during judging and weighted as follows: 30% interpretation of business / brand challenge, 30% insight / breakthrough thinking, 20% creative idea, 20% outcome / results.
The same piece of work can be entered up to four times in Creative Strategy. However, the same piece of work may only be entered once in ‘A. Direct: Sectors’.
For Creative Strategy Lions the eligibility dates are 1 March 2017 - 30 April 2020 where the strategy being judged were first implemented within the eligibility period.
