The 48 Hour YouTube Cannes Young Lions Ad Contest returns for 2011 – starts this Friday 13th
The 48 Hour YouTube Cannes Young Lions Ad Contest starts this Friday 13th May, giving creative talent between 18 and 28 the chance to come to Cannes for free and compete in the Young Lions Film Competition.
HOW IT WORKS: MAKE AN AD: 13 – 15 May
On Friday 13 May, a brief will be released for a charity. Competitors have until Sunday 15 May to make an ad that fits the brief and UPLOAD TO THE CANNES YOUTUBE CHANNEL.
SPREAD THE WORD: 16 – 22 May
Making the video is just half the job. Entrants have one week to drive as many people to their YouTube video as possible by embedding it, blogging about it, tweeting it – whatever it takes to get people voting.
GO TO CANNES: 19 – 25 June
A panel of advertising industry experts will pick two separate winners, taking into account the public votes. The winners get an all-expenses-paid trip to Cannes Lions where they compete as Team YouTube at the Young Lions Film Competition.
