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."

Fairfax Media Group Sales and Marketing Manager Sandra King says the selected jurors represent the country's leading creative talent: "These New Zealand representatives will join an exclusive team of international industry heavyweights to determine the advertising campaigns that will be named the best in the world at Cannes in June. The selection process involves choosing the best in the business while weighing up a fair cross-section of representatives from agency groups and regions.

"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.

His vast experience of pig animation will really put him in good stead for this jury.
