APN Outdoor has announced the winners of the Australian Young Lions Competition.
CommBank’s Nathan Kwok and Jill Harmon have won the Marketing category in the Australian Young Lions Competition.
A panel of more than 65 senior industry members narrowed nearly 200 entries to three finalist teams in each category. On Wednesday evening, 18 finalists competed in a final round to win a trip to the 65th Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, where they will compete in the international Cannes Young Lions Competition.
Given just 24 hours to respond to a brief focused on KidsXress – a charity established in 2006 to offer innovative early-intervention trauma therapy to children in the form of art, music, play and drama – the finalists then pitched their responses live to a judging panel.
