Event Overview
How the UK Competition Works
A brief will be set by the PRCA's Charity Partner (to be revealed at a later date) who will act as the client, and participating teams will be given 24 hours to create a campaign.
The UK competition will replicate the Cannes Lions competition as much as possible.
Timeline
The cost to enter is £300+vat per team. The competition is only open to PRCA Consultancy members. The UK competition will take place over an identical timeframe as the Cannes PR Young Lions Competition, but during a working day: Thursday 2nd February, 2017, 10:00 - Friday 3rd February, 2017, 10:00 (24 hours). The brief is provided by a PRCA Charity In-house member. It will be circulated by email at 10:00 on Thursday 2nd February.
Completed campaigns will need to be emailed back to the PRCA by 10:00 on Friday 3rd February - in the form of a 10 page PowerPoint presentation and a written submission of no more than 500 words delivered as a Word document. This should be sent to younglions@prca.org.uk. The submitted presentations and written submissions will then be judged by a UK Jury.
A shortlist of 6 campaigns will be invited to London on Tuesday 21st February, 2017 to deliver a 5 minute presentation to the Jury, explaining the PR campaign and written submission.
The winning team will be notified by Wednesday 22nd February, 2017.
UK Competition Rules

The PRCA will cover the cost of flights, 4 nights' accomodation, and delegate passes to Cannes PR Lions. All other costs will need to be covered by the competition winners.
