Ninety-eight jurors will join the presidents in London in November, as they work to identify pioneering European creativity. The winners will be revealed and honoured in an evening awards ceremony, which will take place on 30 November.

A new feature of the Festival will see a selection of presidents and jurors discuss some of the winning work, providing attendees with an unprecedented level of insight into the jury decision process and a preview of the work to be revealed in full during the evening ceremony.

Simon Cook, awards director of Cannes Lions said, “The regional focus of eurobest creates a platform for amazing work from agencies of all shapes and sizes to be recognised. The work championed by eurobest jury presidents and their juries is a good indicator of the creative trends that develop at Cannes Lions the following summer.”

The Festival runs from 28-30 November and incorporates specialist events, Lions Health, Lions Innovation and Lions Entertainment. For more information, click here.
