The 2010 News Limited Young Lions competition has launched nationally, with the search now on for the best young advertising and media talent to compete. Open to entry in each state, the competition challenges young professionals who are at the start of their careers in the media, advertising and marketing communications industry.

Its aim is to identify the hottest upcoming talent from Australia to go on and compete against other national representatives in the worldwide Young Lions Competition held in Cannes at The International Advertising Festival in June.

Winning teams will receive return flights to Nice, accommodation and a Young Lions registration to the Cannes Festival with access to all the seminars, awards ceremonies, showcases and the Young Lions party.
