Young Lions is the global competition that brings together the most promising creative, media and marketing talent aged 30 and under from nearly 80 countries, as part of the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.

The Young Lions Türkiye 2026 qualifiers are organised by MediaCat. This year, Türkiye will be represented at Cannes by winning teams across all Young Lions categories.
