A 17-year-old girl from Merida, Lourdes Gimena Anguiano Bermudez, has been named the Gold Medalist in the Adobe Certified Associate World Championship.
She is the first Gold Medal winner from a Spanish-speaking country. Winning this competition means Lourdes beat 230,000 competitors worldwide, then competed in Orlando, Florida against 30 finalists from all over the world.
Contestants were given a design challenge and 8 hours to complete it using Adobe digital design tools. They were asked to create a poster and digital flyer for real world client International Child Art Foundation.
