Cannes Lions has announced the finalists for the Dan Wieden Titanium Lions and Glass: The Lion for Change. See some of the work that has made the cut in two of the festival’s most prominent categories.
The Titanium Lions celebrate game-changing creativity. The work will need to break new ground in branded communications with provocative, boundary-busting, envy-inspiring work that marks a new direction for the industry and moves it forward. The same piece of work can only be entered once in Titanium. Shortlisted entrants will be required to present their work to the jury. This year 20 entries have made the cut in the category.

Glass: The Lion for Change celebrates culture-shifting creativity. The Glass Lion recognises work that implicitly or explicitly addresses issues of gender inequality or prejudice, through the conscious representation of gender in advertising. The work will need to demonstrate ideas intended to change the world. It should set out to positively affect ingrained gender inequality, imbalance or injustice, and entries should illustrate how the work tackles, highlights or redresses issues of gender representation. This year 17 entries have made it through to the finalist round.
