All the winners of the 2026 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, the Oscars of advertising
June is here, and with it comes the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Known as the Oscars of the advertising industry, the event takes place in Cannes to recognize the best campaigns of the year. Following changes to this year’s judging criteria, entries dropped by 25%, granting even greater prestige to the winning pieces. Awards are divided into Shortlist, Bronze Lions, Silver Lions, Gold Lions, and the Grand Prix, which is the highest recognition in each category. There is also the Titanium Grand Prix, awarded to game-changing, boundary-pushing ideas that challenge traditional creativity.
The big winners of this edition were heavily shaped by the rise of artificial intelligence, creator culture, and a strong focus on technical craftsmanship and social transformation. “Claude,” Mother’s campaign for Anthropic’s AI, and Apple TV’s stunning rebrand by TBWA\Media Arts Lab were among the festival’s most celebrated standouts.
These are all the 2026 Cannes Lions winners.
