What is the Adobe Certified Professional U.S. National Championship?
The Adobe Certified Professional U.S. National Championship presented by Certiport, a Pearson VUE Business, is a national competition that tests students' design skills using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Top students are invited to represent their respective states at the U.S. National Championship where they will create a design project for Certiport’s chosen nonprofit client.
How do I compete?
There are two steps to enter. The first step is to pass an Adobe Certified Professional exam in either Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign. The second step is entering an original design project with accompanying source files (Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and/or InDesign) to the submission form during the Fall or Spring Qualifier.
