Participants of the UK Young Lions competition were set a brief from the ¹û¶³´«Ã½n’s All In workstream – an initiative to build a more inclusive industry – which they were asked to respond to by either creating an extension of its existing campaign or building an entirely new brand identity. The 180 entries were then judged by an impressive cohort of industry professionals, whose details can be found here.

The Global Young Lions competitions are where the next generation of creative stars go head-to-head, answering a brief in just 24 hours, with the aim of being crowned the Global Young Lions winners. Applicable only for under-31s, the competitions are the best way for the world’s finest young teams to celebrate and showcase creativity on the global stage.
