After winning the Cannes Lions Grand Prix in 2008, UNIQLO is to produce an official T-shirt for the same Grand Prix this year. We have decided to invite people from all over the world to design a memorable T-shirt suitable for distribution at Cannes Lions 2009 awards in our Cannes Lions T-shirt Grand Prix competition.
The subject for this UNIQLO official T-shirt design competition must focus on the “lion”, the symbol of the Cannes International Advertising Festival. As long as the basic material involves the lion theme, the applicant is free to design the T-shirt however he/she wishes. 10 entries from among the submitted designs will be selected and the one entry to receive the Grand Prix. The Grand Prix winning design will be commercialized as a T-shirt for distribution to guests and members of the media at Cannes Lions 2009 next June. And, all of 10 entries will be sold in UNIQLO stores.
