About the Masterclass
This year, we expanded the Masterclass into a weeks’ worth of content, hosting sessions per region from 9-13 February 2026. Viewers heard from past competitors as they shared tips on how to stay focused and compete in a high-pressure environment – all while enjoying your Festival experience.
We covered how to get over career obstacles, and the three fundamental skills every competitor should have in their pocket. Plus, insight into:
- The history of Young Lions
- How to apply for local competitions
- How to compete in a high-pressure environment
- Core talents needed to succeed in the competition
- The ever-changing career landscape and how to adapt.
The recordings are now available to watch, so you can rewind, replay and review all the tips you need to make this year your moment. Find the session for APAC below:
