The winner of this prestigious honour will be revealed during the Lions Health awards in Cannes, France, on Saturday 14 June 2014 and presented with the trophy by the UN Foundation’s Kathy Calvin.
Terry Savage, Chairman of Lions Festivals, says, “The United Nations Foundation supports the UN and connects people, ideas, and resources to help the UN solve global problems. As such, we could not wish for a better partner for this award as the Foundation’s values truly reflect the principles of this accolade – brave, innovative and life-changing.”
“By celebrating creativity that improves health and wellness around the world, Lions Health is drawing attention to the best work being done to help create stronger, healthier families and communities,” said Kathy Calvin. “Recognising the best of the best with this new award will help us all as we strive for innovative approaches to global challenges.”
“The global health community is looking for innovation, creativity, and impact to achieve audacious goals to improve the health of the world. Advertising may sell and make consumers aware, but our industry has so much more influence and power to make a significant life-saving difference, this award celebrates that simple gesture. McCann Health is proud to have worked very closely with Lions Health and the United Nations Foundation to create the Grand Prix for Good award,” said Jeremy Perrott, Chief Creative Officer, McCann Health and President of the Inaugural Lions Health Pharma Jury.
The winner of the Lions Health United Nations Foundation Grand Prix for Good will earn ten points which will contribute towards the calculation of the Lions Health Network of the Year and Agency of the Year awards.
