UPDATE ON THE 2020 ACA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
May 15, 2020
Due to the difficulties resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and the current travel and large group event restrictions, Certiport is sad to announce the cancellation of the 2020 ACA World Championship. The World Championship has always been a special event for Certiport, student competitors, partners, and clients, but the health and safety of everyone is our biggest priority during this uncertain time.
National Championships throughout the world have been canceled, postponed, or moved to a virtual format. We hope that you understand the need to cancel the World Championship based on the current circumstances and the COVID-19 threat in the United States.
We look forward to holding the 2021 ACA World Championship in Orlando, Florida. We will post additional details to this website about the 2021 event when we have updates.
If you have any additional questions, please contact us at acachampionship@pearson.com. We hope that you are staying healthy and safe during this time.
What is the ACA World Championship?
The Adobe Certified Associate (ACA) World Championship presented by Certiport, Inc. is a global competition that tests students’ design skills using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Top students are invited to represent their respective countries at the World Championship where they will create a designated design project for Certiport’s chosen nonprofit client. In some countries or regions, students are required to participate in a National Championship, and the winners of that event continue on to the World Championship.
Individual partners/countries may have additional published rules.
How do I compete?
Get certified to compete! By taking an Adobe Certified Associate exam in either Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign, you’ll be automatically entered into the ACA World Championship and could be chosen to represent your country!
