Last summer we looked at a few awards shows that advertisers can submit their creative work to. Let’s take a look at some of the winners of this year’s shows.
Cannes Lions, International Festival of Creativity
The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity show was recently held in Cannes, France June 19-June 23, 2023. It is an annual prestigious advertising award show.
Google describes the festival this way, “Cannes Lions: The International Festival of Creativity – has been championing creative excellence since 1954 with the goal of providing a global destination and the definitive benchmark for creativity that drives progress.”
The Cannes’ site states that they have “been bringing the creative communications industry together every year at its one-of-a-kind event in Cannes to learn, network and celebrate.”
