The YDA app brings you the finest work from the most talented young commercial directors. It is the tool for you who wants to get inspired and find the new ideas and talent.
The Young Director Award has supported and promoted debuting international creative talent in commercial film production since 1998.
The Young Director Award is the only award specifically dedicated to beginners. As a result, the award has become a pioneer breaking ground for directors using new technologies and progressive techniques.
The Young Director Award is recognized as the most important fringe event of the Cannes Lions, attracting over 300 participants and over 900 spectators every year. This gives considerable exposure to the winning directors.
The Award is divided into two sections: European and Non-European directors. The five award categories are broadcast commercials, test commercials, film school submissions, branded short films and viral commercials.
The Award jury is presided by François Chilot, President of the Young Director Award as well as the Commercial Film Producers of Europe (CFP-E). The jury panel includes highly regarded industry professionals such as Lyndy Stout, editor at large of Shots magazine, as well as several members of the CFP-E.
