Cinemark, the official local representative of the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, is calling all young creatives under the age of 28 to register for the annual Cannes Young Lions local selection competition.  Registration opens on the Cinemark website from 09:00 on 27 February 2012.

With only 48hrs to complete a print campaign advert for a local charity initiative, the two-man copywriter/art director team will be expected to access the full brief at 09:00am on the 05th of March and submit their masterpiece before 09:00am on the 7th of March.  Only registered entrants will be able to access the brief so be sure to register before midnight on 04 March 2012.

The winning duo will win a trip to Cannes France in June 2012 to compete against international up‑and-coming creative geniuses while they rub shoulders with the globe’s advertising leaders.
