Once again the awards at BalCannes will be awarded by three separate juries, which is why BalCannes is a rare and unique opportunity for applicants to gain first-hand insight into the separate views of different professional representatives; advertisers, agencies and journalists.
Some of the best and most experienced market communications industry experts in the region will select the top 25 projects of the region and award them special awards, and best among them will be awarded the BalCannes Lions.

In order to ensure the neutrality of assessment, selected jury members are not allowed to vote for their own projects, nor for those with which they have vested interests. This year the submitted projects will not be categorized, so categories will not affect the selection.

Take advantage of the great opportunity for a business breakthrough thanks to which advertisers can find agency partners to collaborate with, and where agencies can find new clients!
