Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity
The Lions are the most established and coveted awards for the creative and marketing communications industry. Winning at the Festival puts one among the world’s elite. In collaboration with the Cannes Lions, AKQA Future Lions challenges students to push the boundaries, connecting an audience of their choosing to a product or service from a global brand in a way not possible before. Open to all creative fields, there are no rules as to the format of the final entry, nor the media or technology used.

Entry: Treeprint
Treeprint is a poetic application for World Wide Fund for Nature to create a link between humans and nature through the use of iPhone's fingerprint sensors to hook users up with trees whose rings resemble the markings on their digits. This application provides information on the trees such as location, threats of deforestation and its surrounding wildlife. More importantly, it enables users to easily make a donation to WWF via their Apple ID.
