Young Lions COMPETITIONS
Where the next generation of creative stars go head-to-head.
If you're under 31, the Young Lions Competitions are one of the best ways to celebrate your creativity on a global stage. In 2022 the competitions will be held digitally pre-Festival, enabling all national winners to compete. National winners have the option to attend the Festival subject to agreement with their Festival Representative.

"It was f**king inspiring! You come home and wanna do so many things at once… I wish this feeling would stay forever."
