Canada lands on Design, Mobile, Radio and Outdoor shortlists

PFLAGBy Justin Dallaire & Jennifer Horn

Canada has 23 more shots at the podium in Cannes this week, picking up noms in Design, Mobile, Radio & Audio and Outdoor. The country, however, did not make an appearance on the final Print & Publishing shortlist announced Monday morning.

FCB led the charge, with a total of seven nods for PFLAG’s “Destination Canada.” Cossette followed close behind, with six of its own for outdoor ads for McDonald’s, as well as brand identity work for both Humanity & Inclusion and Telus.

While not counted in Canada’s official tally, the Paris offices of Sid Lee also landed on the Outdoor shortlist twice for its “#Hondanextdoor” campaign, an experiential piece it created for the automaker in France.

Today’s shortlist announcements brings Canada’s total to 31 nominations so far. And the first batch of winners for Pharma and Health & Wellness (of which Canada has eight chances at a Lion) will be revealed in Cannes this evening (3pm EST).
