In this 68th edition of Cannes Lions, Mobile Lions received 42 Brazilian entries out of 1472 submitted by country, with a total of 29074 entries from 90 countries across 28 disciplines. The numbers show a 6% decrease in registrations, which collected 30953 pieces from 89 countries in 2019, compared to the previous year it was conducted in person.
In 2020, the festival had only lectures, debates and online content. Despite the decline, Brazil remains among the three countries with the most registrations, followed by the United States (9124) and the United Kingdom (2192). In this edition, the program brings together projects launched in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With 1472 works, there was a 30% drop in entries in Brazil compared to 2093 pieces submitted in 2019.
