The 12 best projects were then presented to a global jury of selected members of the Cartier’s leadership team, including the SVP Chief Marketing Officer, and showcased diverse creative proposals, leveraging various mediums and cross-cultural lenses.

We are pleased to announce the winning project “The Red Atelier” from the Paris campus, and the runner-up “Love needs Actions” from the Shanghai campus. We thank all participants of this challenge for their dedication and contributions.
