Mel_young marketersAre you under 30, work client-side, live in the US, and fancy supping espresso, exchanging ideas with, and learning from top creatives and digital marketers on the Cote d’Azur?

If you fit le bill, we’re looking for entrants for our 2011 Young Marketers Competition in association with USA Today.

It really is as easy as un, deux, trois!

  1. Register your team of two by 24th February 2011. Create a marketing brief for a charity of our choosing and submit it online. Entries will be judged by a panel of marketing professionals.
  2. Finalists will be selected and flown to Redmond, WA, for a full day at Microsoft. You’ll present your work, tour Microsoft HQ, visit the Home of the Future and meet with a Microsoft executive.
  3. One grand prize winning team will qualify to represent Team USA at the international Young Lions Competition at Cannes and compete against other teams from around the world.

Microsoft Advertising has sponsored the Cannes Lions for the last 8 years, not just because it’s one of the global advertising events of the year, but because it gives young people just these kinds of opportunities to have their work showcased, to learn and to shine.

So, if you’re eligible, check out our 2011 Young Marketers Cannes Lions Competition page and register. Then keep up-to-date with the latest on the competition by visiting us on our Facebook page.

Don’t miss this opportunity to bathe in glory (and sunshine) on France’s south coast.

Bonne chance!

Mel
