Create a YouTube video in 48-hours starting at Midnight on May 15, and you can have the chance to be at the Cannes Croisette at the very moment that the world’s advertising community is in town for their annual get-together at the Cannes Lions advertising festival.
Two winners will be part of a team that takes on 37 others from around the world in a week-long challenge to shoot and edit a 60-second commercial on behalf of a charity.
