The Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival (IAF) is generally regarded as the most prestigious international advertising festival. The five to seven day festival is held annually in the city of Cannes, France, usually in the third week of June, with 2008 marking its 55th year. Although the festival also features seminars, workshops and social events for people in the advertising industry, the primary purpose of the festival is to present the Lion awards for the advertisements and advertising campaigns adjudged the best of the year. 1, record 1, English, - International%20Advertising%20Film%20Festival

Le Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival a lieu tous les ans à Cannes et compte parmi les plus prestigieuses manifestations de la branche. Captivés par le charme des festivals de Cannes et de Venise, des producteurs européens de films publicitaires avaient lancé en 1954 l'International Advertising Film Festival. Jusqu'en 1984, celui-ci était organisé alternativement sur la Croisette ou sur le Lido. Lorsqu'en 1992 il s’est ouvert aux imprimés, le mot «film» a été rayé du nom. Depuis lors, les catégories se sont multipliées : Young Creatives Competition, Cyber Lions, Media Lions, Lions Direct, etc. Le jury décerne aussi des prix spéciaux dont la «Palme d’or». Chaque année, 20 000 œuvres sont envoyées de tous les pays du globe pour être évaluées par un jury international : plus de 5 000 films publicitaires, quelques 10 000 annonces et affiches, 1 500 titres internet, plus de 800 solutions média et plus de 1 200 propositions pour le marketing direct. Quelque 9 000 publicitaires originaires du monde entier profitent de l'occasion pour se rencontrer. 1, record 1, French, - Cannes%20Lions%20International%20Advertising%20Festival
