Lions Health Confirms Grand Prix for Good Jury Line-Up

Lions Health, the global Festival and Awards for creative excellence in healthcare, has confirmed the jurors that are set to judge this year’s Lions Health and United Nations Foundation Grand Prix for Good. 

The Grand Prix for Good honours the best entry for a charity, public service or NGO. A select jury of seven members will review all the Gold Lion winning work chosen by both the Health & Wellness and Pharma juries and award one outstanding entry for a not-for-profit client to be presented with the accolade. The award will be presented during the Lions Health Awards Ceremony on Friday 19 June.
