Film Lions Jury President, Bruno Bertelli, Global CEO of Le Pub, Global Chief Creative Officer of Publicis Worldwide, Chief Creative Officer of Publicis Groupe Italy, Publicis Worldwide, Global, said, "The first Grand Prix is awarded to the best piece of work in the TV/Cinema section. This winner is a 30-second advertisement that stands out for its sharpness, focused approach, and clever twist. In this case, we aimed to acknowledge simplicity and high-quality crafting. The second Grand Prix, awarded in the sections that cover online films and other formats, is an incredibly bold idea that required overcoming numerous challenges to execute. Despite this, it remains a straightforward piece of work."

In The Dan Wieden Titanium Lions 176 entries were received and the Jury chose to award 3 Titanium Lions, and the Grand Prix went to 'The First Digital Nation', for The Government Of Tuvalu, by The Monkeys, Part of Accenture Song, Sydney, Australia.
Titanium Lions Jury President: David Droga, CEO, Accenture Song, Global, said, "How does a nation that is sinking keep its borders, sovereignty and rights? How does its people keep its culture, heritage and identity? By completely reorienting the rules and laws of what it is to be recognized as a nation on the global stage. This is far more than a creative or tech idea. It's not even about a disposable execution. It is about recognition, policy, and safeguarding GDP. It is also about creating new precedents for dozens of other countries facing a similar future. This work was the highest scored entry from day one of the prejudging, to the very last vote on the Grand Prix on the final day. It is an idea that needed to happen and should live on far beyond any of us."
The Cannes Lions Grand Prix for Good chose to award 'Anne De Gaulle', For Fondation Anne De Gaulle Association, by Havas Paris, France.
