These Cannes juries, eh? Never heard of 3/4s of the people. I won a Grand Prix and 9 other lions last year…no sign of a jury invite 🤣

Imagine caring so much about advertising that you know the names of people you’ve never met, just because both of your jobs are to make garbage.

My main point is that juries used to be full of people who’d won the awards they’re judging. Now it doesn’t seem to be the case.

They really aren’t.

You were probably awarded by a bunch of nobodies

Jury selection is about nomination, how much your organization takes part in Cannes, seniority, region, race and gender representation. Previous winner isn't a selection criteria at Cannes.

Juror submissions are a form. Bio information and top program categories the nominee are most suited for with space to provide name and email for person supporting nomination.

Tell me about it, two GPs and like 11 Lions and I got nada.

I heard the juries are rigged.

Isn't everything rigged these days. 🤣

What is the biggest factor is the expansion of categories. It would be highly unlikely that you are a specialist in all of the areas and therefore it would be unlikely that you know the players in each of those categories. Cannes also feels more international - while you could argue it always has been, it always felt more US and European, then added Latin America; the juries seem to be more representative globally.
