Calling all kings and queens of the communications jungle.
The hunt is over, the briefs have been tackled and the prey has officially been caught. Now it’s time to step into the spotlight and meet the winners and finalists of Young Lions Croatia 2026 — introduced by our very own queen of the jungle, Helena Fuker (Head of Project Management and Partnerships, HURA & IAB Croatia).
This year’s young lions entered the arena in teams of two, armed with sharp instincts, sharper ideas and just 24 hours to prove they belong at the top of the food chain. Then it was the jury’s moment to spot the fiercest duo and send them straight to Cannes to represent Croatia at the global Young Lions competition. Across six categories — Design powered by Igepa Plana, Digital, Marketers, Media, Print and PR — the competition was tight, the claws were out and the creativity was absolutely wild.
Winners and finalists take the stage for rapid three-minute presentations to give you a ferocious look into how their ideas were born polished under pressure. Get ready to see the next generation roar.
