The Gunn Report launches Cannes Sweepstakes 2015

Cristina Blanaru Creativity, Festivals & Awards

The Gunn Report, the global index for creative excellence in advertising, has launched Cannes Lions 2015 Sweepstakes, a contest predicting commercials that will win a prestigious Film Lion or Film Craft Lion at the forthcoming Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, taking place later this month.

Out of the 5,000 plus Film and Film Craft entries submitted this year, less than 200 are expected to win a Lion trophy. The Gunn Report has identified 20 commercials from around the world that could potentially win a Film or Film Craft Lion on Saturday 27 June.

To participate in The Gunn Report’s Cannes Sweepstakes 2015, contestants can view the 20 commercials identified by The Gunn Report as potential Lion winners, which are featured on The Gunn Report’s homepage, and for each ad, make a prediction on the contest form: No Lion (Gunn Report wrong) or Bronze or Silver or Gold; and for one of them Grand Prix – if an ad on the reel is worthy of this accolade.

Deadline to enter into The Gunn Report Cannes Sweepstakes 2015 is midnight Wednesday 24 June. The 5 highest scorers will each win one year’s free subscription to www.gunnreport.com (normal price $450/£295), or where a winner is already a subscriber, free Gunn Report Books for 2 years (same value).

The Gunn Report is the global report for creative communications that identifies the most awarded work in the world and its creators. It combines the winners’ lists from 45 of the world’s most important awards – Global, Regional and National – to establish the annual worldwide league tables for the global Advertising industry.

A unique and essential resource for advertising and marketing people worldwide, The Gunn Report brings together 16-years-worth of information, data and intelligence through its report tables, commentaries, searchable and viewable ad libraries, guest essays and playlists, creative effectiveness studies and The Gunn Report for Media.  Additionally Gunn TV features the best commercials of all-time dating back to 1962.  The Gunn Report is available, by subscription, online and as a book with a DVD.
