Nokia Nseries becomes exclusive telecom sponsor at Young Lions Film Competition

It has come to the knowledge from the recent announcement of Nokia that the Nokia Nseries is going to be the exclusive telecom sponsor of the esteemed Young Lions Film Competition that is destined to advocate the cause of young talents in the very industry of advertising. Apart from this each of the creative team, especially in the film scenario, will be given a new Nokia Nseries handset. This device will enable each of them to shoot their entrance in this long awaited contest.

The very shooting of stories by the originative teams will let Nokia amass footage for the production of regular video blogs at www.nseries.com/cannes. What is more these blogs will project the actions of teams in each and every aspect.

Speaking on this, Johan Eidhagen, Marketing Director, Explore category, Nokia, said, "The Young Lions Competition provides us with an excellent opportunity to showcase our Nokia Nseries range as the mobile devices for content creation and creativity. With their state-of-the art image and video capture and sharing features, Nokia Nseries handsets enable people to take full advantage of their creativity."

On the whole 27 creative teams will be provided with the new Nokia Nseries device both for shooting and editing a 60-second viral film within 48 hours. The name of the winner will be announced on June 21.

To be very precise, the Young Lions Competition is open only to the advertising professionals but with the age limit of 28 years. For this reason accomplished professionals from all corners of the world participate with creative teams. The teams get selected by means of a pre-selection process in their home countries, with the winners attending Cannes.
