Cannes Lions 2019 – Final winners announced

The 66th Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity came to a close this evening with the last Awards Show. It honoured the final winners from the Communication Track, alongside the Good Track, as well as special awards, celebrating the industries' best performing companies across the five-day event, as well as industry personalities that inspire and lead the way. In the Film Lions (Communication Track) celebrating creativity of the moving image, 2,793 entries were submitted of which 77 were awarded Lions: 1 Grand Prix, 11 Gold, 28 Silver and 37 Bronze. The Grand Prix was awarded to Droga5, New York, for the New York Times 'The Truth Is Worth It'campaign - Rigor, Perseverance, Resolve, Courage, Fearlessness - which also won the Film Craft Grand Prix earlier in the week. The campaign brings to light the danger, bravery, perseverance and determination that it takes to be a New York Times journalist and ultimately how that helps people to better understand the world. Margaret Johnson, Chief Creative Officer & Partner, Goodby Silverstein & Partners USA, commenting on this exceptional campaign, said: "As a jury, we looked for a brilliant idea that had to be combined with a brilliant execution. And this was the best example. The typography is very simple, but extremely powerful. There's an honesty to it and a simplicity to it. It's the Naked Truth.
