The scholarship offers a fully-funded place on the Cannes Lions Brand Marketers and Creative Academies to a group of young people from around the world.
The aim is to increase the accessibility of Cannes Lions’ bespoke academies and nurture the next generation of creative marketing leaders.
The LIONS Scholarship has been launched by LIONS to support more than 130 underrepresented members of the creative community and emerging talent with access to Cannes Lions. The initiative aims to increase the accessibility of Cannes Lions‘ bespoke academies, which offer a curated education programme at the heart of the Festival, and is designed to support the next generation of talent. The LIONS talent programme includes a range of early career initiatives with the LIONS Academies and Young Lions Competitions, and community-led initiatives in partnership with the global creative industry. The See It Be It programme continues this year, which aims to help achieve equal gender representation of creative directors and leaders. The LIONS Scholarship is part of LIONS’ drive to introduce more opportunities for underrepresented groups through fully-funded talent programmes at Cannes Lions.
Simon Cook, CEO, LIONS, said, “We’ve spent 70 years helping to shape careers, foster connections, and platform the power of creativity on a global scale. As we look forward to the next 70 years, we will focus on creating opportunities, providing access, and nurturing the next generation of creative marketing leaders. As part of our mission to support those ‘in the making’ and drive progress for people, we’re opening up the Festival to more than 130 people from groups traditionally underrepresented in the creative industries. To mark our 70th edition, we’re introducing the inaugural LIONS Scholarship. This initiative is designed to increase the accessibility of Cannes Lions’ bespoke academies, which offer a curated education programme at the heart of the Festival.”
