The jury members for the 62nd Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity were announced today, and Park Pictures Executive Producer Jackie Kelman Bisbee is among the esteemed group. Bisbee will be judging the Film Craft Lions entries. You can view the full list of jurors HERE.

The jurors were chosen through an intense and rigorous selection process and represent the most esteemed leaders in the entertainment industry. Collectively, the jurors will judge over 37,000 entries for the 2015 festival.

Bisbee’s selection is also notable because, as a study of the festival’s past judges found, the 2015 Cannes Lions jury holds the highest number of women ever. In 2013, only 20% were women and just 28.5% in 2014 – now the number is up to 31.5% in 2015. This increase is due to a large push for greater diversity festival-wide, which includes the introduction of the Glass Lion: The Lion for Change award, which honors gender-shattering work in marketing messages.

The 2015 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity will be held from June 21 – June 27, 2015.
