AUSTRALIAN YOUNG LIONS COMPETITION 2009 – DEADLINE THIS WEDNESDAY MARCH 11
The deadline to enter the Australian Young Lions Competition 2009 is this Wednesday March 11th. But if you’re interstate and need until Thursday to get it to Sydney, ring Catherine Labbate at Two De Force on (02) 8115-8101 to let her know.
The Australian Young Lions Competition 2009, which is open to advertising professionals under the age of 28, identifies young talent within the domestic media, advertising and marketing communications industry.
The winners of the competition, who will be chosen by a panel of industry leaders, will represent Australia in the worldwide Young Lions Competition at this year’s Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival, where they will compete against 40 other national representatives.
There are three categories in the Australian Young Lions Competition 2009 – Media, Print and Cyber.
This year, the Media Young Lions category brief will be judged in two stages. Two winner’s will be selected from each state who will compete in a national final to be held in Sydney. The Media Young Lion brief will be based on a number of News Limited media assets. The Print Young Lions Competition brief is for Moshtix and the Cyber Young Lions Competition brief is for Vogue Australia 50th Anniversary.
News Limited will send the six winning Australian Young Lions to the Festival, covering flights, accommodation and Festival registration.
The deadline for submissions for the Australian Young Lions Competition is 5pm on Wednesday, 11th March 2009. The winning entries will be announced at the end of April.

Hey Kim or Michael,
You say the submissions are due the 2nd March. The brief says 11th. Which one is it?
There’s a bit of confusion with Cannes extending their deadline to end March.
The News Limited Young Lions closes tomorrow Wednesday March 11 .
Young Lions entry enquiries should go to Catherine Labbate at Two De Force (02) 8115-8101
Considering all of this, can other states get another day? Nothing we post now, is going to get there by 5pm tomorrow.
extensions?
Extensions. Exsmensions. You should have done it on the weekend.
A team here just entered a Cyber Rooftop Party for Vogue, where you get to turn your DESKTOP into a ROOFTOP. With CELEBRITIES like Alex Dimitriades.
So basically, you’re all fighting for 2nd place.
