The International Festival of Creativity “Cannes Lions” is attended every year by around 20 thousand representatives of the creative industries from all over the world, not only to be inspired and see the best of what has been achieved in global marketing and advertising, but also to learn, take part in various competition categories and gain new contacts and friends.
Last year, the official representative of Cannes Lions in Latvia – Inbox.lv – set off on the long journey to Cannes, France, together with three creative and active young people who won the national selection organised by Inbox.lv, but this year we are delighted to announce that 4 participants have now won the opportunity to represent Latvia in Cannes, as this year Inbox.lv is the general sponsor of both Young Lions competition categories – DIGITAL and FILM!
Latvia will be represented at the 2018 Young Lions competition in France this year by Ritvars Bluka and Peteris Viksna, who will compete in the “FILM” category, while Rihards Gromuls and Māris Antons will put their creative minds to work in the “DIGITAL” category. No second or third places were awarded in this year’s selection, but compliments and praise from the jury also went to Andris Reinholds, Toms Papirtis, Gatis Trikulis, Dana Jurkjāne, Reinis Spailis and Matīss Spailis.
On behalf of the Cannes Lions Latvia representation, many thanks also to the fantastic jury – Jānis Holšteins, Andis Kulinskis, Reinis Traidās, Arleta Nemiro, Laura Rava, Vairis Strazds and Jānis Andrejevs.
