Four teams from Australia make the cut at the shortlist stage of the 2016 Future Lions

Four teams from Australia have made the shortlist for the 2016 Future Lions competition.

Belle Chen and Gwendolyn Tan from RMIT University have been shortlisted for General Electric ‘Sonant: The Power of Sound‘; Georgina Bird and Matt Ebeling from RMIT University have been shortlisted for Nike ‘Hoops‘; Heath Schmidt and Alicia Mitchell from RMIT have made the cut for World Health Organisation ‘Beacon‘ and Samantha Cable from Miami Ad School Sydney and Rafael Martins from Miami Ad School Sao Paulo have been shortlisted for Samsung ‘The Quake Network‘.

A global celebration of bold and progressive thinking, Future Lions has now launched the careers of over 60 of the most talented creatives. The brief: connect audiences to an idea from a global brand in a way not possible  three years ago. There are no boundaries or restrictions on which industries or media are chosen.

The five winning ideas will be celebrated on stage at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity on 22 June 2016 in the Debussy Theatre at Les Palais des Festivals. The winners will receive the prestigious Future Lions trophy, and full access to the Festival. An exclusive rooftop celebration will take place after the ceremony for all the winners with the judges, industry luminaries and previous Future Lions winners.

Alongside the individual awards, the school with the highest number of shortlisted entries will be recognised as the Future Lions School of the Year, an honour that has gone to Berghs School of Communication in Stockholm, Sweden for the last two years.
