The Steering Group of the competition has nominated and invited experienced marketing and communications professionals from a wide range of organizations, both local and global, to join the Young Lions Finland 2024 juries. These jury positions in seven categories offer a unique opportunity to witness new ideas & bold and creative approaches from our young creative professionals within our industry. As judges, all these best of the best are able to offer their own experience and insight to the future stars of the industry.
One of the most important things these jury members can give to the competitors, is all the relevant feedback and best practice of what can be developed in the future on their journey to Cannes. All the juries will be announced before the competition week. It is a great honor for Marketing Finland to present these juries.
