UK Young Lions Competition 2020 – The Winners

We are delighted to announce the winners of the UK Young Lions Competition 2020.

We received an amazing 175 entries this year and the work was of an incredibly high standard. The brief was centred around our diversity and inclusion initiative. We would like to thank all the entrants for taking part and for our wonderful panel of jurors for their valued feedback.

There are three awards in each category:  1st prize – the opportunity to compete in the Global Young Lions Competitions in Cannes in 2021 *,  2nd prize: tickets to our annual summit, LEAD and a third team in each category has been highly commended.

* Following the recent announcement that this year’s festival has been cancelled, the organisers have confirmed that our UK teams will be able to compete at Cannes Lions 2021 (21-25 June).

We will shortly be publishing the full details of the 18 winning teams with their work.
