LONDON, Feb 16, 2016 - (ACN Newswire) - The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity has today completed its announcements of the 2016 jury presidents, revealing the names of the remaining seventeen.
Philip Thomas, CEO, Lions Festivals, commented, "It's not easy to win a Lion. On average our juries will award just 3% of more than 40,000 entries. They're looking for unique work that is creatively exceptional and challenges the norm. What we look for in our presidents is people that have been in this 3% time and time again - it's a significant responsibility leading a Cannes Lions jury and we're incredibly proud to have such a powerful mix of individuals who know what creative excellence looks like, because they have it in abundance themselves."
