The good run continued on day four, with Kiwi agencies landing a gold and a silver.

Colenso BBDO has picked up its third gold Lion overnight, while DDB and FCB also had reason to celebrate having each picked up a Bronze.

Overnight, the next round of winners and finalists at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity were announced and there were again a number of New Zealand agencies in the mix.

New Zealand’s currently the sixth ranked country at Cannes with the US in the lead. However, with Special Group making the ‘Music’ shortlist and three agencies on the ‘Entertainment’ list, New Zealand is gearing up for more wins.

While you’d be hard-pressed to find an advertising creative openly disappointed at winning a gold, silver or even bronze Lion at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, the grand prix awards are the ones that they all want. These elusive gongs are perhaps the most coveted perhaps in any advertising competition around the world, and winners over the preceding decades now stand as a veritable advertising canon, giving modern creatives the opportunity to take their place alongside the greats who came before. And as the festival’s days roll on, 2015’s generation of grand prix winners will simultaneously take their positions in the canon as they walk onto the stage at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes to collect their awards. Here is the list of Cannes Grand Prix winners thus far. This post will be updated throughout the week.

By the time the curtain was drawn on the 2014 Cannes Festival of Creativity, a total of 1143 lions had been distributed to the finest examples of advertising to have been published throughout the world over the course of the last year. And of these gongs, 25 will be making their way back to New Zealand in the laps of Kiwi winners.
