Six of the best NZ jurors for Cannes Lions
Following the recent announcement that Nick Worthington would be on the exclusive Titanium jury at Cannes this year, New Zealand has scored a further five slots on the 2010 juries.
Guy Roberts (top left), creative director of TBWA\Tequila is on the Promo Lions Jury; Chris Schofield (bottom left), creative director of DraftFCB is on the Radio Lions Jury; Lachie McPherson (top right), executive creative director of Mojo is on the Cyber Lions Jury; Vaughn Davis (bottom right), creative director of Y&R is on the Direct Lions Jury; and Barry Williamson, media director at Mediaedge:cia is on the Media Lions jury.
Cannes International Advertising Festival chairman Terry Savage told CB: "NZ have consistently provided a stream of top class jury members - not surprising given their ranking in terms of Lions won at Cannes in the last few years which saw them placed 11th in 2009, joint 8th in 2008 and 6th in 2007."
"It's testament to the creative strength of the New Zealand advertising industry that we have representation on six of the twelve juries at the festival. We are one of the most awarded countries in the world for our size when it comes to advertising accolades and no doubt our performance at this year's Cannes Lions festival will prove that once again," says Ms King.
Entries are now open in all categories of the 57th Cannes Lions Advertising Festival. Entry forms can be completed online at www.canneslions.com

I'm sorry, one of these creatives on any awards jury is a joke. Let alone Cannes.
That's right Ted. These guys are crap. Cannes should have picked you.
Yep. Embarrassing really…
Ted, Ted, Ted. So you didn't get picked for the Jury.
Let it go mate.
Let it go.
Head shot
Does the aforementioned judge know what a lion looks like?
S-E-X !!! (Kiwi for 6) right outta the stadium.
Go Kiwis Go...
Oye Ted, hold my bread while I butter the jury.
His vast experience of pig animation will really put him in good stead for this jury.
Get your puns entered.
Most importantly, make sure your apostrophes are in the right places.
hey - look at the bright side some of these fellas might end up learning something - after all the the 'e' in ECD usually stands for 'empty'.
i thought andy blood was cd of TBWA?
Dye his hair black, and then you have Neil from the 'Young Ones'.
