Czech Republic wins gold while UK picks up Silver at Cannes Young Lions Media competition 2012
The Young Lions Media Competition has been won by creative talent from the Czech Republic, with the United Kingdom taking the Silver prize and Portugal picking up Bronze.
The competition saw 28 competing teams enter, with the brief set by The Big Issue to devise a media strategy which would offer its vendors a platform to tell their own story, while also aiding an increase in circulation for the magazine within the UK.
Andrew Saunders, senior vice president of Creative Content for Getty Images, said: “The Young Lions competition is an exciting event for Getty Images. Our support of the Young Lions Competition over the past 15 years has never failed to produce work that both inspires and surprises us – and we know that these talented individuals are going to be involved in setting the creative agenda in years to come. It is a rewarding experience to see some of the world’s most talented, young creatives use Getty Images’ content to produce such fresh and innovative work, and this year has been no exception. I would like to congratulate all those who participated in the Young Lions competition.”
