This week, the organisers unveiled the juries of the various categories.
Among the Brits, Kate Stanners, Ed Morris, Marc Mendoza, Mitch Levy, Gerry Moira and Malcolm Poynton will make their voices heard (page 6). It's an invitation few turn down: it's good for the CV and good for insight into global trends in creativity.
For Stanners, Morris and Moira, the offer has come at a good time; they are all new to their current creative directorships and will benefit from the profile that participating in the Cannes judging process supplies.
