O Estadão, representante oficial do Cannes Lions no Brasil, comunica que a organização definiu o júri de Shortlist para a edição deste ano do Festival. O grupo será responsável por selecionar trabalhos criativos de classe mundial que seguirão para a etapa final de julgamento, premiação e celebração durante o Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, que acontece entre os dias 22 e 26 de junho de 2026.
A seleção global deste ano reúne um grupo diverso de especialistas que representa toda a amplitude de disciplinas do universo criativo.
