LONDON - Tequila\London's Nick Moore and Partners Andrews Aldridge's Steve Aldridge have been selected as the UK judges on the Cannes Direct Lions jury.

The 2006 festival takes place on June 18-24, with UK agencies hoping to take the Grand Prix after losing out to Germany's Nordpol Hamburg Agentur, which won for its Renault Modus launch campaign.

Neither Moore, executive creative director at Tequila, nor Aldridge, creative partner at Partners Andrews Aldridge, have judged at Cannes before, although Aldridge was a judge in the pre-selection of UK entries last year.

They join judges from the rest of the world and jury president Steve Harrison, managing director and creative partner at Harrison Troughton Wunderman.
