Shortlist jury members announced for Cannes Lions 2022

Cannes Lions, the big marketing and communications conference and awards held annually on the French Riviera, has announced this year’s jury members who will shortlist world-class creative work before it is judged further during the event on 20-24 June.

The five-day event drew in nearly 31,000 entries from across 90 countries worldwide in 2019. While the pandemic saw the 2020 awards cancelled, and entries dropped slightly for last year’s event to 29,000, the 2022 awards are anticipated to draw in more entries as travel restrictions continue to be eased.

The shortlist jury members comprise of a plethora of global creative industry experts who will come together to promote the very best work across 15 categories, including ‘Film Lions’, ‘Outdoor Lions’ and ‘Design Lions’. This year, the jury will judge entries remotely from their homes across the world.

Among the jurors is Ashwini Deshpande, co-founder of Pune-based agency Elephant Design, fresh from striking a gold award at the inaugural Transform Awards India earlier this year for her agency’s brand experience work with Firefox Bikes. She will form part of the ‘Industry Craft Lions Shortlist Jury’. Other jury members hail from a variety of the most reputable creative agencies in the world, including BBDO and McCann Worldgroup.

Simon Cook, CEO at Lions, says, “The votes that are cast during this crucial stage of judging play a fundamental role in the judging process. This talented line-up of industry experts will bring us one step closer to defining the creative benchmark on the global stage this June. We are extremely grateful to our jurors for their time, dedication and expertise.”
