Claire Fenner, from News Corp Australia, presented a snapshot of this year’s briefs and some suggestions on keeping it simple and ultimately having fun!  The attendees also heard from Initiative’s Lyndelle O’Keefe with some key tips on what judges are looking for and a past example of how Australian team Lauren Cassar and Tristan Burrell took home the Young Lions Gold in Cannes in 2009.
