Cannes Lions has announced its final awards – Glass: The Lion for Change, Sustainable Development Goals Lions, Film Lions, Dan Wieden Titanium Lions and the Grand Prix for Good, as well as its Of The Year winners.
Simon Cook, CEO, LIONS, stated, “The body of work our Jurors have awarded showcases the ideas, innovations and creative excellence that moves the industry forward. Across the Festival week, we have seen Lion winners representing every corner of the globe with first-time Grands Prix for Kenya and Greece. Huge congratulations to all. Thanks, once again, to our incredible Jurors, entrants and winners for setting the global creative benchmark for 2026.”
Glass: The Lion for Change received 122 entries. 5 Lions were awarded – 1 Gold, 1 Silver, 2 Bronze.
The Grand Prix was presented to Nigrum Corpus, for IDOMED & Instituto Yduqs, by Artplan, São Paulo. The work turned an injustice – racism – into a reality doctors are trained to recognise and treat, shifting how medicine sees, studies and cares for Black patients.
Glass: The Lion for Change jury president, Monique Nelson, executive chair, UWG, commented, “The Grand Prix is awarded to ‘Nigrum Corpus’, a multimodal medical textbook that treats racism as a disease and attacks it at the educational level. What set this work apart was the rigorous documentation, quantification, and research of the lived experience of Black patients translated into action. Adopted by Brazil’s highest medical authority and endorsed by the WHO, it is now redefining medical education and humanising Black bodies for an estimated 2 billion people worldwide.”
Sustainable Development Goals Lions received 289 entries received. 9 Lions were awarded – 2 Gold, 2 Silver, 4 Bronze.
The Grand Prix was presented to Paid Sick Leave for Cows, for Too Good, by The Partnership Agency, Nairobi. The work crosses boundaries between labour rights and agriculture, creating a new way to think about work and value in food systems.
Sustainable Development Goals Lions jury president, Kazoo Sato, CCO and CEO, Earth Centric Design, commented, “The Jury awarded the Grand Prix to a piece of work with a brilliantly simple idea that goes beyond awareness to create lasting systemic change. It transforms an apparent trade-off into shared value, benefiting people, business and other species alike. More than solving a single problem, it offers a replicable model for how creativity can help redesign a more sustainable future.”
The Dan Wieden Titanium Lions received 138 entries.
The Grand Prix was awarded to Haven, for Suncorp Insurance, by Leo Australia. The work turned insurance into a long-term public service initiative, combining education, design innovation, and policy advocacy to help Australians better prepare their homes and communities for extreme weather.
4 Titanium Lions were selected.
Dan Wieden Titanium Lions Jury President, Chaka Sobhani, global CCO, TBWA\Worldwide, commented, “The theme of the festival is where does creativity go next? And that is what the Dan Weiden Titanium Lion exemplifies in droves. This is about celebrating the ideas that are genuinely game changing, that inspire us to reimagine what is possible, and that genuinely pave the way for where creativity can go in the future. These are not ideas that exist for just one moment but that have a true and profound lasting impact on how brands show up in the world, on business, on people, on the culture we are part of and on the world we live in. Ultimately ideas that the world would miss if they didn’t exist.”
