Cannes Lions announces Jury President, Award submission
By Abimbola Mohammed
The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity has officially opened its doors for award submissions for its 72nd edition alongside names of jury presidents.
This year’s festival promises to be an exciting one, with a lineup of esteemed global experts set to lead the 2025 juries.
Among the notable jury presidents is Ali Ali, Co-Founder and Film Director of Good People Films, who will be leading the Film Craft Lions jury.
This marks the first time Egypt will be represented on the jury lineup. The festival has also announced significant updates for 2025. One notable change is the renaming of the Social & Influencer Lions to the Social & Creator Lions.
This move acknowledges the growing influence of creators in the marketing landscape. Beth Keamy, Chief Digital Officer at TBWA\Media Arts Lab, Global, will serve as Jury President for the Social & Creator Lions. With her expertise in digital innovation, Keamy is well-equipped to lead the jury in recognizing groundbreaking creative work.
In its 10th anniversary year, the Glass: The Lion for Change award is being redefined to reflect a more expansive vision for social equity. The award’s scope will now broaden beyond gender to celebrate creative excellence that promotes more equitable representation across a wider range of communities.
KR Liu, Global Head of Disability Innovation at Google, will play a vital role as Jury President in championing these transformative creative solutions.
Simon Cook, CEO of LIONS, expressed his excitement about the lineup of jury presidents. “We are thrilled to welcome a diverse and forward-thinking group of leaders who understand the transformative power of creative excellence,” Cook said.
“Their incredible talent, combined with their commitment and leadership, ensures the highest levels of integrity and rigor in the judging process.”
