The YDA is presided over by Francois Chilot and organised in conjunction with shots, alongside a host of other sponsors including Campaign Brief, and is recognised as one of the most prestigious awards shows for – and accurate indicators of – aspiring directing talent in the advertising industry.

Details of the competition, its rules and categories, including a reconfigured Short Film section and the burgeoning Changing the World Frame-By-Frame category, can be found on the recently revamped YDA website.

Previous YDA winners include directors such as Ringan Ledwidge, Hanna Maria Heidrich, We Are From LA and many more. The YDA prize-giving ceremony will take place on Thursday June 21 at the JW Marriott hotel in Cannes, and is one of the most important fringe events during the week of the Lions International Festival of Creativity.
