The United Nations Foundation Grand Prix for Good, for the most outstanding entry for a not-for-profit client, was won by Leo Burnett Colombia for Cancer Tweets, for the League Against Cancer.

Its jury included Kathy Calvin, president and chief executive officer of the United Nations Foundation: “The Lions Health – United Nations Foundation Grand Prix for Good was created to inspire the best in creative health communications for social good. The inaugural honour goes to a campaign that used the power of social media in new and unexpected ways to teach people to recognise potential symptoms of cancer and seek treatment while the disease is treatable. Cancer Tweets prompted online engagements that sparked offline conversations and action among consumers to take ownership of their own health and wellbeing. As the media and creative landscapes continue to evolve, we are all challenged to find fresh approaches to shape conversations that change lives for the better.”

“It’s fair to say that the work being made in healthcare communications has come a long way in the last four years and is now being recognised as being worthy of major international industry shows. 
Lions Health have listened to the industry and have understood what we wanted and provided a platform for us to sit alongside the best consumer work in the world.
This first year, is not only an important year to build the foundation for which the jury can understand the diverse culture for this festival to live up to, but is also setting a very high benchmark as we need to be challenged, compelling and innovative.”
