Cannes Lions has announced the jury for the Creative Effectiveness competition, as well as a number of new categories aimed at awarding a wider range of creatively driven business successes – and making it more attractive to potential entrants.

In addition to the main Creative Effectiveness category, where entries are evaluated with a heavy emphasis towards business results, advertisers now have the opportunity to enter their work in five new sub-categories. They were created to recognize “the growing role of creativity in a wider range of business objectives,” according to a press release.

The new Creative Regional Effectiveness sub-category will recognize campaigns that were specific to a particular city, country or region, while the Creative Global Effectiveness sub-category will recognize multi-market campaigns.

Creative Marketing Effectiveness has been established to recognize brand-led work where client resources and thinking were instrumental to the campaign’s success. Creative Effectiveness for Good will recognize campaigns for charities, non-profits and governments. Winners in Creative Longer-Term Effectiveness will demonstrate how a long-term program delivered results over several years.

The main entry criteria for Creative Effectiveness remains the same: any piece of work that has won a Lion in the past three years is eligible to be entered. Since it was created in 2011, Creative Effectiveness has typically been one of the categories with the fewest number of shortlisted entries and winners, partially due to its exclusive submission requirements.

Entries are open, with an early bird deadline of March 23. For reference, here is the Canadian work that, having won a Lion at one of the previous three festivals, would be eligible for a Creative Effectiveness Lion this year:
