In the constantly evolving world of media and advertising, fresh ideas often come from fresh minds--those of talented young people who are just starting their careers.

In hosting Canada's Young Lions competition, The Globe challenges tomorrow's leaders and offers unparalleled exposure to the industry. Designed to simulate the conditions at Cannes, The Globe and Mail's Young Lions competition gives winning teams the preparation they need to compete internationally in the official Young Lions competition.

More important, the Globe Young Lions competition is the only way to qualify and compete in the Cannes Young Lions competition--and it's completely free to enter!
