Cannes blows for the lion hunt again

 The Cannes International Advertising Festival opened this year's submission deadline on Thursday. Agencies can now once again submit their work in all categories in the hunt for the coveted Lions. The deadline for Film, Press and Outdoor is March 7. The deadline for Design, Direct, Media, Promo and Radio is March 14, and the deadline for Cyber and Titanium and Integrated is March 20.

The Film category has been expanded this year: films that were not made for television or cinema, such as internet or mobile spots, are now also eligible. The Design category has been added and honors brand design as well as product communication and development. The festival in Cannes takes place this year from June 15 to 21.
