Cannes Lions 2021: Seven from India on jury

Cannes Lions has announced its jury lineups for the awards to be presented during this June's festival, which the company recently confirmed—to the surprise of no one—would be an entirely online event.

That event, dubbed Cannes Lions Live, takes place from June 21 through 25. The juries will be awarding Lions across two years worth of work.

The jury list includes a total of 285 'awarding jurors'. Shortlist jurors will be announced later.

The proportion of women on the juries has hit 51%, up from 48% in 2019. Unfortunately, APAC still appears to be grossly under-represented. Out of the 285 jurors listed below we count only 41 (14%) associated with the region. A great many jurors are listed as having global oversight, but with few exceptions (such as Merlee Jayme of Dentsu Mcgarrybowen) that translates to US- or UK-based positions. So the amount of APAC experience in the juries remains woefully sparse, especially when considered against the region's population.

India has seven jurors among the list.

The 2021 awarding jury members are (APAC jurors highlighted in bold):
