You’ve submitted your work. What happens next?
Judging After you check out your entry, each piece of work is reviewed multiple times by our Awards team before it gets to the Jury. If there are any issues, a member of the team will be in touch. If you don’t hear from us, it means you’re all set and your work has progressed through to the judging stages.
First stage
The first stage involves looking through each piece of work to establish a shortlist. Jury members review and score each entry on a scale of 1 to 9 based on whether they consider it a shortlist candidate.

Onsite judging
Onsite judging is guided by the Jury President. Jurors review and debate the shortlist before voting on which entries should be awarded a Bronze, Silver or Gold Lion. It takes a two-thirds majority vote to secure an Award.
After voting
Results are read out and the Jurors confirm the decisions. Candidates for Grands Prix, selected from among Gold or equivalent winners, are then identified and discussed further before a final vote takes place.

Non-profit organisations and charities
Entries for non-profit organisations and charities aren’t eligible for the Grand Prix in their Lions but will be considered for the Grand Prix for Good or Lions Health and United Nations Grand Prix for Good.
