Advertising Council Australia (ACA) has officially opened jury nominations for 2027’s Cannes Lions.
Eligible nominees include recognised leaders across advertising, audio, media, marketing, design, and more, as well as industry specialists who have won Spikes, Lions, or other major global awards over the past three years.
Detailed jury criteria and categories are available here, and the nomination form is now online.
Tony Hale, CEO, ACA, said: “Australia has no shortage of experienced industry leaders with the perspective and expertise to contribute at Cannes. We want to see people from across disciplines put themselves forward and play a part in setting the standard for the work recognised on the global stage.”
The Cannes Lions team will make the ultimate selection of jurors in all categories, ensuring that each jury is evenly balanced, with gender and ethnic diversity at the core.
Only jurors who are Australian residents can nominate via ACA, with nominations closing 5pm AEST Friday, 25 September.
