Cannes Young Lions 2026 Launch
The Cannes Young Lions competition is globally recognised as the proving ground for the next generation of industry leaders. Designed to challenge emerging creatives under real pressure, the competition tasks teams with responding to a live charity brief—developing strategic, compelling, and impactful ideas within tight deadlines. It’s an experience that mirrors the energy and intensity of the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity itself.
For young professionals across PR, communications, advertising, digital, and media, this is a rare and invaluable opportunity to showcase talent on the world stage. Many past participants have spoken about how the competition accelerated their careers, expanded their networks, and opened doors within Ireland and internationally.
The online launch will provide essential information for anyone interested in taking part this year.
Like every year, we at PRII encourage all eligible PR and communications professionals to attend the launch and consider entering the competition.
This is a moment designed for ambitious young practitioners—those ready to push boundaries, collaborate creatively, and take bold steps in their professional journey.
