Instagram Comes to Cannes with 'La Galerie d'Instagram'

In June, thousands of creatives from all over the world will descend on the French Riviera for The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, an annual, global gathering that celebrates the best work in advertising and visual communications from the past year. 

Instagram and Cannes Lions both celebrate the world's best visual imagery, so what better way to bring that connection to life at the festival with La Galerie d’Instagram, a gallery space showcasing a small collection of photos representing the stunning, original work we see in the Instagram community each and every day. 

It would be impossible to reproduce every breathtaking portrait, moody landscape, or perfectly balanced still life on Instagram that you find inspiring. But hard as it may be, Instagram will choose some of its favorites and exhibit them at an exclusive gallery space, located at Gare Maritime Promenade Pantiero 06400 Cannes, for festival-goers to enjoy.

Between now and June 13, add the #InstagramCannes hashtag to up to three of your best photos. Their are only three submissions per person, so choose wisely.

Winners will be based on the originality, technical execution, and subject matterof submissions. In addition to having their #InstagramCannes photos featured in the gallery and announced on the Instagram for Business blog, each winner will receive a Leica C camera and travel kit, courtesy of Leica and Herschel Supply.
