CANNES LIONS 2006: FILM AND PRESS JURIES ANNOUNCED

| | No Comments

The Organisers of the 53rd Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival have announced the members of this year’s Film and Press juries.

U.S. based Australian David Droga (right), Creative Chairman of Drogafive, will preside over both juries in Cannes. The press judging will take place 15 to 20 June with the winners being announced Wednesday evening, 21 June. The Film entries will be judged 18-23 June culminating in the winners being honoured on Saturday evening, 24 June.

“These award winning creatives will bring together their global points of view to award great innovative and inspirational work that will raise the international creative benchmark” commented Australia’s Terry Savage, Executive Chairman of the Festival.

Australia is represented on both juries, an honour bestowed on only 15 countries this year, including Thailand and India. The three countries are now considered the leading creative centres of the region – at least as far as Cannes is concerned! Australia’s Film Juror is James McGrath, ECD of George Patterson Y&R, Melbourne and our Print Juror is Scott Whybin, chairman and ECD of Whybin TBWA. New Zealand is represented on the Film Jury by Nick Worthington, ECD of Publicis Mojo, Auckland.
