Since 2010, CICLOPE is the only award that honors the people behind the craft. It is an outstanding showcase and celebration of the very best of the year in commercials, music videos and short films.

Each year, a panel of top experts from around the world awards the most well-crafted work of the year, setting a golden standard in about 30 categories, including Direction, Cinematography, Production Design, Editing, VFX, Animation, Music and many more.

Every year in June, Cannes Lions brings the creative community together for a week in Cannes, France – to learn, network, explore and celebrate creativity in advertising and communications.

Taking place from 17–21 June 2024, the Festival is where the world’s greatest creativity gets its moment in the spotlight. It’s where groundbreaking work from across the globe is awarded, and where today’s most influential thought leaders and industry titans come together on stage – from Malala Yousafzai to David Droga.

With unrivalled networking opportunities, the Festival brings together creative minds from around the world. Ensuring every delegate – whether experienced or still in the making – can collaborate, share ideas, and progress through creativity.

Information, inspiration and networking on all things digital business. From top international speakers presenting on multiple stages and Masterclasses to a two-day trade fair, side events and Guided Tours, the OMR Festival is a MUST for digital professionals.

Featuring a variety of tracks that focus on the most important breakthroughs in technology, film, culture, and music, SXSW proves that the most unexpected discoveries happen when diverse topics and people come together.

What to expect.

Our Awards celebrate new ideas shaping the next wave of creativity. The School inspires the next generation of leaders. You can also network with your global colleagues and discover the best talent in the world.

Why it matters.

Though the definition of creativity changes all the time: it undeniably drives progress for people, business and society. Cannes Lions celebrates, facilitates, and substantiates creativity in all its forms – helping to prove its effectiveness, shape its future, and connect the future leaders of the industry.

Who comes, speaks and wins?

We interrogate the methodologies, approaches and achievements of all types of companies: from tiny start-ups to huge multi-nationals. Anyone with original ideas can enter speaking submissions or awards entries, but only the bravest – and most effective – will make it on to the stage.

An essential destination for global professionals, the annual March event features Conference sessions, Film & TV Festival screenings, Music Festival showcases, world-class Exhibitions, competitions, Awards ceremonies, and much more. Experience unparalleled discovery, learning, professional development, and networking with creatives from around the world at SXSW.

PARK CITY, UTAH —The nonprofit Sundance Institute is pleased to announce the 2023 Sundance Film Festival will take place as a hybrid festival in Park City, Salt Lake City, Utah, and beyond, from January 19 through January 29, 2023.

“We can’t wait to return to our home in Park City and present exciting new work from around the world live and in person,” said Festival Director Tabitha Jackson. “We also have two years of digital exhibition and participation under our collective belt, and are returning to the excitement and immediacy of live events while retaining a powerful online offering.”

The program, including world-premiere feature films, short films, episodic work and a full New Frontier program, will be larger than those presented digitally in the prior two years. Pass and package information for both online and in-person participation will be shared closer to the Festival, as will detailed health safety and vaccination guidance.

The past two Festivals saw audiences coming together online to experience new independent storytelling as it premiered on the Festival’s proprietary digital platform, including such award-winning and -nominated films from the 2021 edition as CODA, Summer of Soul (…or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised), Mass, Flee, and Passing, among others, and reached larger audiences and was more accessible than past in-person Festivals.
