The Cannes Lions:Festival of Creativity takes place from May – June each year and invites competitors from over 90 countries worldwide to compete in 28 different categories. These awards are an international benchmark for creative excellence in the advertising and communications industries.  

This year was Custodian’s first year to enter the Irish leg of the competition, the Irish Cannes Young Lions competition, organised by IAPI. During the weekend of February 26th- 28th, our designers worked in teams of two to fulfil a brief provided by SocialEntrepreneurs Ireland (SEI). They were tasked with designing a suite of awards matching SEI’s brand identity and made using sustainable materials. We’re delighted to say that it was a roaring success!

Congratulations to Dylan Panetta, Aoibheann O’Sullivan, Kristin Bell and Kevin McInerney, who have been shortlisted and move on to present in front of a panel of industry experts, for the chance to represent Ireland in the International Cannes Lions festival.
